To my astonishment, University of Cincinnati ( CCM-Cincinnati Conservatory of Music) not only allowe double majors in CCM but also allows double majors with some programs in the arts and science school. I found this surprising for a conservatory since most conservatories don't allow double majors...period!

Actually, quite a number of conservatories have some form of double major or double degree program these days - the CCM program you noted, the Juilliard/Columbia/Barnard program, CIM with Case Western, NEC with both Harvard and Tufts, Eastman with URochester, Peabody with Hopkins, Oberlin and Bard within the same institution, and others. You have to consider that these programs are supported at varying levels, however. Some admit a couple of double major students per year and make the program so hard that almost nobody completes it. Others have much broader institutional support that lets many students complete the double program each year. Bard, for one, requires that all of their undergrad performance majors take a second major.

You're info is incorrect. Most conservatories allow double majors. AAMOF, I can't think of one that doesn't but I don't know enough about Colburn and Curtis to comment there. Everyone else does...

Curtis has a program with UPenn, but I do not think it goes as far as a double major. It just lets students cross register for classes in some very specific circumstances.
