We saved you a seat. Let’s put your name on it.
 

CHAIR

"The work going on in Kulas Hall is more than a building restoration. It’s a commitment to the future of CIM." - Rosemary Deioma

The Hall

Since it opened more than 60 years ago, every musical program, educational program, and CIM student has used Kulas Hall – that’s 400,000 artists and audience members in the past five years alone. 

And now, Kulas Hall is undergoing a complete face-lift, taking the walls down to the studs, raising the ceiling, and reshaping the walls. The stage will be larger, there will be new seating, theater lighting, and more.

The new state-of-the-art Kulas Hall is a commitment to the CIM mission to empower the world's most talented classical music students to fulfill their dreams and potential.

The Project

Now is your chance to be part of the renovation and put your name on one of the seats. For a gift of $5,000, payable over up to 5 years, or as a one-time gift, your name or the name of a person you would like to honor will be elegantly engraved on a plaque affixed to the arm of a seat for the life of the seat.
