Join musicians from the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Cleveland Orchestra for an unforgettable concert featuring the Cleveland premiere of Shawn Okpebholo’s Wind Quintet RISE along with several other works from the beloved Classical repertoire.

Every musician and artist donates their time and artistry to the cause of helping to alleviate hunger in NE Ohio. There are no administrative costs associated with this concert! 100% of donations will go to the University Settlement which serves thousands of individuals and families through their Hunger Center.

In addition to the concert, there will once again be an auction of artwork donated by the students at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
