Performathon is an annual event hosted by the Community Music School where we welcome students of all ages to come together to share music with our community! Each year we encourage and hear students share this magic with us from their first scales and pieces to more advanced repertoire that span many styles/genres, as well as self-composed works.

Young Composers Festival is a series of themed workshops, panel discussions, and concerts by and for students, aimed to inspire them to create music of their own, in partnership with the New Gallery Concert Series.

This year's Performathon & YCF are scheduled for February 1-4, 2023. To find out more the event details, head to our website!

This year, we will be inviting students to fundraise in honor of CMCB! Support a student-run fundraiser today!

With your support, we can continue to:

• Award over $300K in financial aid, giving over 35% of tuition dollars back to families in financial need
• Provide over $60K in youth wages as part of our youth employment program, supporting economic empowerment for two dozen students aged 14-24
• Offer board-certified Music Therapy for participants of all ages, which adopts the skillful use of musical instruction to achieve non-musical goals

Our target for this year's Performathon/YCF is $10,000. We hope you'll help us meet our goal!
