Providence House Benefit Concert

CIM Women’s Empowerment Association partners with Providence House for Benefit Concert 

Providence House keeps kids safe and families together by providing emergency shelter to children whose families are experiencing crisis and support services to parents and guardians to help prevent foster care placements. For more than four decades, Providence House has kept more than 20,000 kids safe and families together during times of crisis. Join us in honoring and uplifting those in need with music, and raise funds to continue the vital work happening at Providence House.

The Benefit Concert, created by Cleveland Institute of Music operatic soprano Ro Alia and CIM piano faculty member Ralitsa Georgieva-Smith, features an inspiring lineup of performances by CIM students and distinguished faculty members.
