The University Settlement in Slavic Village provides a wide range of programs to help life up people in the community, including a Hunger Center which feeds thousands of people and families.
To help them out, the Cleveland Institute of Music Student Government Association, with Music for Food, is presenting a concert and silent auction, featuring musicians from CIM and the Cleveland Orchestra who are donating their talents to help out.
A highlight of the program is the Cleveland premiere of young American composer Shawn Okpebkholo’s 2023 composition RISE for Woodwind Quartet (2023), performed by flutist by Jessica Sindell, oboeist Frank Rosenwein, oboe, clarinetist, Afendi Yusuf, bassoon player Brittney Delpey, and horn player Richard King, all but Delpey, a current CIM student, members of the Cleveland Orchestra.
The program will feature the Tower Scene Duet from Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore with soprano Kiana Lilly, tenor Trey Floyd and pianist François Germain; Reena Esmail’s 2021 solo harp composition “Inconvenient Wounds” performed by Yolanda Kondonassis, head of the harp departments at CIM and Oberlin Conservatory; and Quintet for Piano and String by Robert Schumann with Kathryn Brown on piano, Jaime Leredo and Karisa Chiu on violins, Lola Pinney on viola and Sharon Robinson on cello.
Students from the Cleveland Institute of Art are contributing as well, donating original artwork for auction.
