Arts for All

There are many ways for area arts lovers to experience the incredible talent of CCM's students and faculty members.

Bring CCM Talent to Your Community

CCM students and alumni can bring world-class artistry to your holiday or birthday party, wedding or special event. The college's Talent For Hire referral service connects Greater Cincinnati with a range of student and alumni artists and ensembles — from string trios to jazz quartets to singers and more.
