Outreach
CIMs Community Education Department regularly sends student ensembles into neighborhoods throughout the region to perform. Many of these visits are to hospitals, long-term care facilities, urban schools and library branches. CIM also reaches over 11,000 children annually throughout the State of Ohio through its Distance Learning program.

Community
CIM is a sound investment and is good for our community! A recent study by Impact Economics found CIM's total economic impact in Ohio is $90 million per year.
