Grow, create and perform.
At the Cleveland Institute of Music, summer study is an opportunity to elevate your musicianship through focused, high-level training and artistic exploration. CIM’s Summer Institute offer immersive study in string chamber music, piano, composition, conducting, brass, and more, designed for musicians who are ready to challenge themselves and grow under the mentorship of CIM’s distinguished Summer Institute faculty.
Through intensive rehearsals, lessons, and masterclasses, participants refine technical mastery, deepen musical interpretation, and strengthen ensemble collaboration. Each program cultivates both excellence and curiosity—preparing musicians for the next stage of artistic and professional growth.
At CIM, you’ll join a community of dedicated artists who share your commitment to craft and discovery. Here, lasting connections are built—in studios, rehearsal rooms, and on stage—with peers and mentors who inspire you to continue growing long after summer ends. Between rehearsals, enjoy exploring the cultural hub of University Circle, one of Cleveland’s most beautiful and vibrant neighborhoods.
Take the next step toward your future in music.
