CIM ‘is thrilled to announce’ that in Fall 2024, award-winning pianist and composer Gabriela Montero
will be joining the piano faculty as the Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan D. Epstein Artist-in-Residence.’

Montero says: ‘Over the past two years, I have found unimaginable joy working with top young pianists through my Piano Lab. That work convinced me that passing knowledge, experience and inspiration to the next generation is not only deeply rewarding, but – at this point in my career – a joyful duty.

‘I could not be more thrilled to be joining the storied Cleveland Institute of Music piano faculty as the Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan D. Epstein Artist-in-Residence. I am delighted to be welcomed into such a distinguished musical family, and I look forward to our work together in the same spirit of creativity and collaboration that drives my ongoing mission as a performer and composer.’

CIM desperately needs star names. Montero needs a rest from the star circuit. Needs meet.
