Biography: The CIM Orchestra draws from the talented students, alumni, and faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music, leveraging the institution’s strong tradition in orchestral performance. Regular collaborations with guest conductors and artists—such as JoAnn Falletta and Kulas Foundation Visiting Artist Andrew Grams—bolster the ensemble’s artistic vision. The orchestra frequently programs works spanning the classical canon and modern repertoire, including selections by Dvořák, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Strauss, Tate, Kodály, and Hisaishi, ensuring a dynamic and varied concert experience.
