Alum Chris Neiner is making waves in Cleveland's music community! Next Thursday, his composition "Tales of Euclid Beach Park" premieres at the Cleveland History Center, honoring the legacy of a beloved local landmark. Commissioned by Musical Upcoming Stars in the Classics (M.U.S.i.C), the work draws on the decades-long influence Euclid Beach Park has had on Clevelanders even after it closed, reigniting conversations on nostalgia and community.

Elsewhere in Cleveland, Chris co-founded an Italian-themed chamber music series in Little Italy alongside pianist Allison Hillier. The series combines performance with conversation to inspire audiences to interact more deeply with the music. Demand grew so much that the duo expanded their show offerings to accommodate audiences.

His continued commitment to artistic excellence in his projects earned him a 2026 Individual Excellence Award from the Ohio Arts Council. Bravo, Chris!
