Giving Tuesday: Support CCM health and wellness
Join us in this season of giving and let your kindness resonate through the halls of CCM
This Giving Tuesday, make your gift count. Empower the next generation of artists by prioritizing their health and well-being just as much as we celebrate their world-class performances.
Each year, after the consumer frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a special day emerges that embodies the true spirit of the holiday season: Giving Tuesday.
If you haven’t heard of it, this global movement, launched in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y in partnership with the United Nations Foundation, is celebrated on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Its purpose? To inspire acts of generosity and remind us all of the importance of giving back to our communities. This year, Giving Tuesday takes place on Tuesday, December 3.
For the CCM community, Giving Tuesday offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact by supporting Student Health and Wellness. As our students dedicate themselves to the arts — pursuing rigorous schedules filled with practice, performance and academic study — their mental and physical well-being is crucial.
Did you know that CCM offers students a specialized Mind/Body Course, which helps address the unique mental and physical health challenges faced in high-paced performance careers? Your donation will help provide the necessary resources and programs that promote holistic health, ensuring that CCM students thrive not just as artists, but as balanced, healthy individuals.
No matter what or how you celebrate, December offers a time of joy, reflection and compassion. It’s when we look for meaningful ways to spread kindness and share our good fortune. Supporting CCM on Giving Tuesday means joining a powerful movement of like-minded arts patrons who uphold these values. Your support of the CCM Health and Wellness initiatives fosters an environment where our students can continue to inspire, create, and share their talents with the world.
Whether you choose to support student scholarships, our sensational performances, a particular division or to give where funds are needed most, your investment in CCM is an investment in our world renowned institution and in securing the future of the performing and media arts.
By supporting CCM, you are joining a team of alumni and donors committed to making a meaningful impact in our students’ lives and thereby the world. It is only through your collective support that we can create the next breakthrough at CCM.
Join us in this season of giving and let your kindness resonate through the halls of CCM. To donate on Giving Tuesday, please visit CCM's page on the UC Foundation website.

Bringing deadly ‘Sweeney Todd’ to life
April 17, 2026
“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” not only stars the titular “demon” barber, but is famously a monster of a show. It’s such a grand team lift across its dozens of cast members, special effects and a multistory set that most productions cut it down to a small-scale adaptation. But the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music is stepping up to the challenge of putting on a full-scale performance of the classic, gory tale. Debuting on Broadway in 1979, the show is almost 50 years old, with countless revivals and adaptations of the vengeful barber Sweeney Todd and his co-conspirator, pie shop owner Mrs. Lovett. CCM’s performance, with a double cast and three-story set, is just as huge and bloody as the original.
