The renovated Kulas Hall may be drawing all eyes at the moment, but just as attractive is the lure for the ears: the slate of concerts Cleveland Institute of Music is hosting this season.
In celebration of a completely renovated Kulas Hall, listeners can look forward to a rich array of offerings from the school’s resident ensembles, faculty, and guest artists and ensembles, not only in the reimagined Kulas Hall but also in CIM’s widely celebrated Mixon Hall.
Between Kulas and Mixon Halls, the school will present full seasons by the CIM Orchestra, CIM Opera Theater, and CIM New Music Ensemble, as well as new Perspectives and Insiders series featuring CIM’s illustrious faculty and guests.
The list of artists involved in these performances is as distinguished as it is long. The conducting slate features Carlos Miguel Prieto, Andrew Grams, and Tito Muñoz, former music director of the Phoenix Symphony and CIM’s new interim principal conductor and orchestral studies lecturer. Violin faculty member Todd Phillips will also lead the debut of the CIM Virtuosi, CIM’s conductor-less chamber orchestra.
