HISTORY Founded in 2011, Collegium Cincinnati has quickly garnered a reputation for the highest level of artistry. Beginning in 2014, the Collegium began presenting an annual Bach Festival, with city-wide performances involving numerous groups and performers. The group was founded as a non-profit in 2013, and became the in-residence ensemble at the beautiful Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Cincinnati in 2014. Manami White, Associate Director 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 best in the city. However, our reach is citywide. It is our hope that, by performing in locations throughout the city, we can bring our unique performances to people who wouldn t otherwise hear them. We hope you will visit us sometime this year! We promise you will not be disappointed.
