CAMPAIGN UPDATE
David Cerone, President
Good News! Good News!
The Campaign for CIM passes the $25 million mark!
The Campaign for CIM exceeded $25 million in late June 2003 with a total
attainment of $25,368,212 toward the $40 million goal. Of this
total, 51% has come from individuals, 45% from foundations, 3% from
government, and 1% from corporations. The Campaign Cabinet, headed by
Co-Chairs Richard W. Pogue and Barbara S. Robinson, along with CIM Chairman A. Malachi Mixon, III and President David Cerone, are pleased with the
progress so far, particularly in light of extremely difficult economic and
fundraising climates.

Design Architect Charles Young spoke at CIM’s Annual Meeting in July about
the preliminary plans, which include the construction of two wings, one on
the southeast and one on the southwest corner of the existing building. The
facade of the existing building will not be altered so that the majority of the
large spacious windows will be preserved. Each of the wings will include
new entrances with full accessibility for handicapped individuals.
Elena Hirsu (B.M., 2002, violin)
Student of Donald Weilerstein
Violin Fellow, Montgomery (AL) Symphony Orchestra
The Recital Wing, constructed on the southwest (East Boulevard) corner
of the building, will include the new recital hall and lobby. The Practice
Wing, constructed on the southeast corner, will include practice rooms,
administrative offices, a Distance Learning Center, and an Audio Recording/Media Center.

Phasing of the construction will allow for uninterrupted activity, particularly within the Distance Learning Center. The Practice Wing will be
constructed first. Next, several administrative offices will be moved from the
existing facility, allowing for those rooms to be converted back to their original use–faculty studios. The Distance Learning Center will move to its
expanded space in the new Practice Wing, allowing for its existing home in
Le Pavillon to be demolished for the new Recital Wing.

CIM Celebrates
Fundraising Success
CIM Trustees
Take to the Airwaves
for the Legacy Society
Jim Kozel
At CIM’s Annual Meeting on July 8, David Lauderback,
chairman of the Institute’s Development Committee,
announced the success of the 2002-2003 Annual Fund
Campaign with an attainment of $1,281,710. The year’s goal
was $1,275,000. As was true for many
area non-profit institutions, 20022003 was an especially challenging
year for fundraising. Lauderback
noted: “As of June 1, we still had a
significant amount yet to be raised.
But, with the extraordinary efforts of
trustees and the community, by June
30, we had reached our goal. Thanks
to all of you for the important role
you played in this effort! Our results
show that CIM is important to this
community and is worthy of its
ongoing support, even in these tough
Marston
economic times.”
Mr. Lauderback led successful
Annual Fund Campaigns for the past two years during his
tenure. A Vice President at A.T. Kearney, Inc., he is relocating to Florida this fall with the company.
Charles S. Marston, Vice President at UBS Financial Services, has assumed the leadership of the Development
Committee for 2003-2004. He previously served on the
committee as chairman of Corporate Giving and has been
a member of the cabinet for The Campaign for CIM, the
Institute’s building expansion and endowment project.
The Annual Fund goal for 2003-2004 is $1,300,000.
The David and Inez Myers
Foundation Steps Forward
In addition to providing much needed support to CIM’s
Annual Fund, the David and Inez Myers Foundation made
a generous pledge of $200,000 to The Campaign for CIM
in June 2003. According to Foundation President, Lee
Kohrman, “CIM is a great institution that is part of the
cultural fabric of Cleveland. The Trustees of the Myers
Foundation believe the Institute has wonderful management, and the faculty is a matter of great pride to this city.
All in all, it’s one of those sterling Cleveland institutions
that deserves the support of all people of good will.”
David and Inez Myers’ support of CIM’s
Annual Fund lasted nearly 20 years during
their lifetime, and then afterward, through the
support of the David and Inez Myers Foundation. The Myers family legacy also lives on
through the involvement of their son, Dieter,
and his wife, Bonnie. Dieter and Bonnie Myers
not only make personal philanthropic gifts to
CIM, but they also give of their time and can be
seen at the Institute often, volunteering for the
Cleveland International Piano Competition and
the CIM Women’s Committee.
David and Inez Myers
IN MEMORIAM
Frank E. Taplin,
Chairman of the CIM
Board of Trustees from
1953-1956, died in May at
age 87. Devoted to philanthropy, Mr. Taplin was a
CIM Board member from
1947-1962 and an
honorary trustee for
the rest of his life.
A graduate of Princeton
University, Frank Taplin
was a trustee of the
Institute of Advanced
Study for more than thirty
years. He was president
and CEO of the Metropolitan Opera and helped
oversee the capital
campaign to celebrate the
opera’s 100th anniversary.
He was also president of
The Cleveland Orchestra
Board of Trustees.
Members of the Legacy Society are helping to ensure a bright
future for CIM through their planned gifts, and while bequests
are the most typical planned gift, charitable gift annuities have
become very popular, because they make such good sense.
Both Jane Post and Dick Manuel have created charitable gift
annuities with CIM, and John Shelley, as Chairman of CIM’s
Planned Giving Program, is an expert in the area of estate
planning and charitable giving. So, it was easy for them to tell
WCLV listeners how CGA’s can provide support to CIM while
creating secure life income for the donor. As a result of the ad
spots, CIM received a number of inquiries about CIM’s Gift
Annuity Program and requests for proposals.
Bravo, Jane, Dick, and John! The ads will air again during the
coming fall season. If you would like information about how a
charitable gift annuity can enable you to help CIM while
providing financial security for life, call Jim Kozel at 216-7953168, or email Jim at jak44@cwru.edu.

Mr. Taplin was an
experienced pianist in
classical and jazz and
performed regularly,
being a member of the
American Federation
of Musicians. He was a
member of the American
Bar Association and
a director of the
Association of American
Rhodes Scholars.
David Cerone, CIM
President, reminisced,
saying, "Frank Taplin, the
philanthropist, is legendary, but additionally for
me, he was one of a
handful of the most
passionate music lovers
it has ever been my
pleasure to meet.
I performed chamber
music with this remarkable renaissance man on
numerous occasions,
and each time it was a
glorious adventure in
musical collaboration and
intellectual exchange."
Trustee Additions
Patrick S. Mullin, managing partner of Deloitte and Touche (Cleveland office) and
Karin Stone, Senior Vice President, Corporate Marketing at National City Corporation,
joined the CIM Board of Trustees this year. Ted Brown and Graham Grund were named
Honorary Trustees.
Mullin
For a few months this past spring, you may have heard the
voices of CIM trustees Jane Post, Dick Manuel, and John
Shelley talking about the benefits of charitable gift annuities
(CGA’s) on WCLV. The photos were taken while they were at
the WCLV studios recording the ad spots. It was a rare
opportunity to get behind the scenes at WCLV, and everyone
had a thoroughly good time.
Patrick Mullin specializes in compensation planning for high net-worth individuals, estate and gift tax planning and investment review and analysis. Active
in community affairs, Mullin is chairman of the board of the Downtown Cleveland Partnership, a member of the board of trustees for the Cleveland City Club,
the Greater Cleveland Roundtable, Leadership Cleveland, the Western Reserve
Historical Society and the Kent State University Foundation. "I'm delighted to
join the Board of the Cleveland Institute of Music," states Mr. Mullin. "It is truly
an honor to be involved with an organization that has produced some of the
world's greatest musicians. I sincerely hope that in some small way I can contribute to CIM's future in the world of music."
In her role at National City Corporation, Stone has responsibility for all
line-of-business marketing, creative services, web marketing and corporate
advertising. Stone joined National City following a career spanning nearly
two decades, first with American Express Company and then Ford Motor
Credit Company. She most recently was vice president of Walker Digital
in California, the Internet invention and development company that aunched
Priceline.com. Stone has an M.B.A. from the Carlson School of Management
at the University of Minnesota and a B.A. in mathematics and accounting
from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. Karin Stone
Stone
affirms: "In my short time as a trustee, I have found CIM is 'by any measure,
exceptional' because of the people. The commitment and talent of the students, faculty,
trustees, alumni and friends is unmatched, and I am proud to be associated with such
a terrific institution."

A Challenge
for The Campaign
for CIM!
Recognizing CIM’s impact on Summit County,
The GAR Foundation has a long history of
support for CIM, particularly with an endowed
Conservatory Scholarship and a second endowed
scholarship for ENCORE School for Strings.
Now, The GAR Foundation has stepped forward
to support The Campaign for CIM with a challenge
grant of $150,000 to help endow the expanded
facility. To receive the grant, CIM must raise
$150,000 earmarked for the building endowment
by June 30, 2004. In appreciation of this generous
grant from The GAR Foundation, President
David Cerone and his wife, fellow faculty
member, Linda Sharon Cerone, pledged their
support of the campaign and designated their
commitment toward The GAR Foundation’s
challenge grant.

From the Dean’s Office
At Orientation this year, I asked the students to consider why they are here. I did not mean why they chose CIM or the city
of Cleveland as opposed to other fine cities and institutions, but what they hoped to gain from their time here.
I discussed the root words of higher education institutions. If we compare “university” to “conservatory,” we find the
following. The root of university is “universe”— opening the infinite possibilities of thought and research and stimulating
inquiry. This is a good root word.
The root of conservatory is “conserve,” which can have both a positive and a negative connotation. The good sense of
“conserve” is the passing on of a wonderful tradition of singing and playing, from one generation to the next. The negative
sense of “conserve” is to be a caretaker for a dead culture. If I had the chance to re-name these institutions, I’d like to call
them “discovertories.”
One way to avoid caretaking is to champion new music. There is much wonderful new
classical music to be composed, interpreted and championed. There is demand for the
latest art in every other media; the latest book from a favorite author, the latest movie,
Students must never lose
the latest gallery exhibition in trendy SoHo—so why can we not recreate this same
their capacity to try out
demand for new music? In fact it is already there. Recording companies are now focusing more on new compositions than ever before, and many can no longer afford to issue
new ideas and to inquire.
yet another recording of standard repertoire.
Another way to avoid caretaking is to regularly discover new ways of interpreting
older music—o avoid performing on “automatic pilot” or taking the same corners in
each performance, because they worked so well last time. Today’s student must also add historical awareness to performance of older music.
Students must practice and their major teacher is the key reason they are here, but that teacher is one resource, albeit the
primary one, for them to mine, to question and debate.
There are other resources available to students here, too. We have access through our Joint Program to the “universe” at
Case, we have our own library, and we have one another. These resources cannot be tapped if students spend all their time
sequestered in a practice room. They should listen to one another perform and come to master classes on other instruments
besides their own.
The best practicing is informed by ideas, by thought and concentration, not by automatic repetition.
Students will hopefully gain employment when they leave here (and many do so very successfully), but that is not why they
are here. This is a major fueling station to propel them in their lifelong discovery of music. Whatever combination they end
up doing, whether performing, teaching, administrating, they must never lose their capacity to try out new ideas and
to inquire.
At our conservatory, we shall do our utmost to ensure students have the educational fuel for life and to have the environment to be called a discovertory.

Music Bonanza
Participants in the Young Composers Program learn from
Orianna Webb and Peter Gilbert.
Something to Write About
For a week in July, CIM hosted 13 talented young composers
from 11 states and provinces in the inaugural session of the
Young Composers Program. Co-Directors Peter Gilbert (M.M.,
2000) and Orianna Webb (M.M., 2000) and featured composer
Dr. Margaret Brouwer, chair of CIM’s composition department,
comprised the faculty of this exciting opportunity for composers
ages 13-18. Works by each student were presented in two final
concerts by Mary Kay Ferguson, flute; Liana Gourdjia, violin,
Michael Block, cello and Mark George, piano.
Webb explained, “We focus on giving students compositional
tools to enhance their skill, expanding students’ exposure to a
broad range of contemporary musical styles, and giving the
students practical experience in the preparation of works for
performance. Between private lessons, master classes, coachings
and small-sized classes, the personal attention is very intense.”
Gilbert raved about the students: “They were a remarkably
sophisticated group! We tackled a lot of very complex issues in
discussions as open and nuanced as one would expect from
college students. They bonded with one another immediately and
learned a great deal from each other.” David Wickland, 17, of
Toronto seemed to speak for all of the students when he said,
“I have taken so much from the YCP. It has been a thoroughly
enriching experience.”
This summer, CIM had a
strong presence in the
inaugural season of a new
music festival, The Perlman
Music Program’s Chamber
Music Workshop. Merry
Peckham, member of the
Cavani String Quartet,
ensemble-in-residence at

Perlman, the festival’s
director. For two weeks in
August on Shelter Island
NY, the Biava String
Quartet (graduates of
CIM), as well as five
current Conservatory
students, Young Artists
and Preparatory Division
alumni participated in this
exclusive experience.

IN MEMORIAM
Francine Sherman (B.M.,
1981, M.M., 1982, horn),
student of Richard Solis,
died in May at age 42.
“During her student days,
Fran was known for her
sense of humor. But along
with the humor, there was
a persistent love of humanity and passion for music
that gave her the strength
to pursue a career in music
despite deafness in her
right ear. She was among
the first of her classmates
to find full-time work as
a hornist, and had the
courage to go to Mexico
to do so. Fran earned a
D.M.A. at the University
of Oklahoma in 1992 and
settled in South Carolina to
play and to teach. She was
active as a teacher and a
recitalist until recently.
She maintained close ties
to the Cleveland area
through regular visits to
former classmates, friends,
teachers, and CIM staff.
Fran is both greatly beloved
and greatly missed.”

New
Leadership
Anne Mateyo is the new Director of
the Preparatory and Continuing
Education Division. A violist with a
Bachelor’s degree in music education
from CWRU, Ms. Mateyo combines
her teaching experience in the
Cleveland Heights-University Heights
Schools with her leadership expertise
as immediate past president of the
Cleveland Chamber Music Society.
Mateyo
Ms. Mateyo is the principal violist of
the Suburban Symphony and performs regularly as a chamber
musician. She served on the boards of
the Cleveland Music School Settlement, CIM Women’s Committee and the
Women’s Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra.
“My goals as director of the Preparatory and Continuing Education Division,”
says Anne Mateyo, “are to support the fine offerings that exist in this musical
institution of international standing with an efficient infrastructure and to
develop a curricular program that directly embraces and supports the musical
standards and breadth of study in the Conservatory.”

Voice Lessons on the Adriatic
What better way for singers to learn Italian? This summer, Mary Schiller taught
in Rimini on the Adriatic coast of Italy, near the Tuscan region where the best
Italian is spoken. Six of her CIM students and Marla Berg, voice teacher in the
CIM Preparatory Division and at CWRU, accompanied her. The singers studied
voice and Italian and participated in a master class with renowned opera star,
Mirella Freni, in the 15th century mountaintop town of San Leo.
All of the students from CIM sang for Ms. Freni, who was complimentary of the
high level of their performances. Ms. Freni concentrated on a beautiful sound,
seamless legato, expressive phrasing and emotional commitment to the text, all
essential elements of the Italian Bel Canto. She gave an exciting, emotionally
charged class, even singing and illustrating for the students with her glorious
voice, which has made her so famous for the past thirty-five years.
A typical week at the Accademia Italiana dell’Opera I Malatesta consisted of
two voice lessons with Mary Schiller, two vocal coachings on Italian language
and style in the singers’ repertoire with the Italian pianist/coach Carlo Pari,
and four hours of Italian language classes each day, taught only in Italian. The
students were excited and challenged by the excellence of the language
instruction, which enabled them to achieve a basic speaking ability in their
daily lives.
During their time in Rimini, the singers performed two concerts in the beautiful
nearby towns of Cattolica and Montefiore, the latter another ancient gem on a
mountaintop. The singers were heartily welcomed and cheered by the audiences who treated them to standing ovations.
On the weekends, the singers visited Rome, Florence, Venice and Verona,
where they went to the ancient arena for a splendid and grandiose Franco
Zeffirelli production of Verdi’s Aida, perhaps the most exciting event of the
entire trip. The three weeks were packed with singing, language and Italian
culture study, fun at the beach, and travel to some of civilization’s greatest
artistic treasures–a wonderful opportunity!
