CCM Vision

A CASE FOR SUPPORTING THE

COLLEGE-CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC

let's start now, and let's start here The College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) is the internationally recognized home to the stars and arts leaders of tomorrow. We’ve built this reputation on the strength of our top-ranked programs, world-class faculty and immensely talented student artists and performers.

As media and performing arts continue to evolve throughout the world, CCM is redefining the future of creative excellence. Our imperative to lead the way as artists, performers and innovators has never been clearer—and your support for CCM has never been more important.

Your investment in Next, Now: The Campaign for Cincinnati can lift up students of all talents and backgrounds, cultivate a culture of health and wellness, and further strengthen the programs that set CCM apart. Together, we can reimagine what’s possible in the arts—and, together, we can shape what’s next, now.

Our Distinctive Strengths: • With our electronic media program, CCM is the first conservatory in the nation developing virtual performance content through the Onstage Online Broadcast series.

• The New York Times has named CCM “one of this country’s leading conservatories,” and Playbill Magazine regularly ranks us among the “10 Most Represented Colleges on Broadway.”

• Our community partnerships are pioneering programs like the CSO/CCM Diversity Fellowship program, co-hosted with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and funded

by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The program provides a two-year learning experience for populations historically underrepresented in classical music.

YOUR IMPACT With your investment in CCM through the Next, Now Campaign, you can support: • Endowed scholarships and fellowships that competitively recruit students of all backgrounds to bring their experiences and talents to CCM. • The groundbreaking CCM Integrative Health and Wellness Initiative that prioritizes and incorporates healthy living and well-being practices for every one of our students.

• New technologies and programming to lead in emerging digital spaces of learning and virtual performance.

• Centers of Excellence within the college including our Musical Theatre and Opera programs which are recognized among the world’s most comprehensive training programs.

WHAT’S NEXT STARTS WITH YOU. JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR CINCINNATI.
