Friends and Alumni Fueling the Future of the Arts
The Power of CCM
CCMpower represents the people who make UC's College-Conservatory of Music extraordinary. Our global community of artists, creators, scholars, and performers — along with dedicated supporters — fuels the future of the arts through passion, talent, generosity, and innovation. Together, we can make the power of CCM unstoppable.
For decades, CCM has earned a national and international reputation for excellence. Across Broadway stages, concert halls, film and television screens, and productions around the world, the creative achievements of our students, faculty, and celebrated alumni continue to defy gravity.
I often reflect on my humble journey. A few decades ago, I arrived at CCM as a young immigrant from Warsaw, Poland, eager to learn from exceptional faculty who would help launch my career in television production. Their mentorship extended far beyond the classroom and remains a source of guidance and encouragement. That spirit of personal connection continues for every student…and is something no technology can replace.
Today, students learn, create, and collaborate in the award-winning CCM Village, where world-class architecture and state-of-the-art facilities inspire the next generation of artists, innovators, and creative leaders. You can be part of their journey.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Your support funds scholarships, creative projects, and travel for auditions, festivals, conferences, and competitions that prepare students for careers in Cincinnati and beyond.
Through guest artists performances, master classes, and visits from industry leaders, CCMpower helps connect students with invaluable expertise, mentorship, and professional networks.
These experiences empower students not only to succeed, but to shape the future of the arts.
