The Cleveland Institute of Music and Cleveland Institute of Art partner once again in their annual Music for Food concert and silent auction for Cleveland Kosher Food Pantry. Last year, our Cleveland chapter’s MFF concert raised more than $15K for the Kosher Food Pantry, and this annual event has proven to be truly inspiring and impactful. As our chapter director Sharon Robinson writes:
“Over the last seven years since I founded the Cleveland chapter of Music for Food, the Cleveland Kosher Food Pantry has been our most enduring partner in raising funds for the food challenged families of Northeast Ohio. The dedication and energy exemplified by all those at the Food Pantry are very inspiring to the musicians and artists involved in donating their time and talents to the cause of helping to alleviate the scourge of hunger in our community. Having the Cleveland Institute of Music’s support has also been so important in reaching benefactors for this wonderful effort.”
Program includes African-American spiritual and pieces by Ernst Bloch, Valerie Coleman, and Johannes Brahms, performed by students and faculty at CIM, including Trey Floyd, Minji Lee, Pin-Hsuan Huang, The Aeronaut Woodwind Quintet (Daniel Lopez, Grayson Eichmeier, Shihao Zhu, Brittney Delpey, Liam McConlogue), Jaime Laredo, Sharon Robinson, Karisa Chu, Steven Song, Paolo Dara, and Cecelia Swanson.
