Music, together.
VISION

CORE VALUES
PROFILE
Collegium Cincinnati is one of the most vibrant musical organizations serving the Greater Cincinnati region. From the Passions of Bach to world premiere performances of today’s newest great repertoire, the Collegium presents stylish musical events that surprise, move, and captivate our audiences.
We encourage audiences to applaud wherever and however they want, to ask questions, and to engage with us before, after, and during our performances. And, we are committed to breaking down the barrier between musician and music-lover: we want to know you – and we want you to know us!
While we maintain our home as artists-in-residence at Christ Church Cathedral, one of the most active music hubs in the city, the Collegium performs in traditional and non-traditional venues throughout the city. Whether it’s the Brandenburg Concertos in a cozy bourbon bar, or classical music trivia in a cabaret space, we go wherever the music calls us.
Collegium Cincinnati’s musicians are among the finest and the finest up-and-coming in the region. With a world-class conservatory (CCM) and one of the nation’s top orchestras in town, our musicians represent the best and brightest working today.
WHAT’S A COLLEGIUM?
Col·le·gi·um: A group whose members pursue shared goals while working within a framework of mutual trust and respect.
In the 18th Century, a Collegium Musicum was a loose organization of musicians - both professional and amateur - who came together to play music in coffeehouses, churches, and homes for their own pleasure, and the pleasure of those listening. We take our name from this, and strive to make our programs comfortable and enjoyable for all.
Collegium Cincinnati is a professional choral-orchestral ensemble that embraces both the old and the new, and we invite our patrons to join us on a musical journey unlike any other they have taken. We revere the great masters, and we celebrate the new works that are bound to inspire and astound.
OUR HOME
Our home is Christ Church Cathedral, which is one of the most active hubs of music in the city. Not only is it a beautiful space in which to hear music, but their instruments enhance our performances and their musicians are among the finest in the city.
However, our reach is citywide. It is our hope that, by performing in locations throughout the city, we can share musical experiences with people who wouldn’t otherwise hear them.
We hope you will visit us sometime this year! We promise you will not be disappointed.
