Together, the remarkable people below devoted over 1,000 years of artistry and compassion to ±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨ and its students, but their impact on the musical world is truly impossible to measure. They are the teachers, performers, mentors, and leaders who have made the ±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨ the world-class institution it is.  

±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨'s President and Faculty join together in elevating these remarkable individuals to Faculty Emeritus. Faculty who complete their teaching career at ±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨ are eligible for Emeritus status if they have taught at ±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨ for at least 15 years, with a record of recognized excellence in teaching and exemplary service to ±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨ and the community, and having demonstrated deep respect for colleagues and others. 

Our entire community enthusiastically welcomes them to the ranks of ±ÆÁ¨±ÆÁ¨â€™s most illustrious instructors over more than a century in Cleveland.
