Performathon

What is Performathon?

Performathon is a festival of continuous performances where students showcase their talents and help fundraise for the organization. Every CMCB department participates, and students from our community music school and our community engagement partnerships all perform—over 100 performances between 9am on Friday and 5pm on Saturday!

Where else can you hear students of every age and background playing music from every genre and style you can think of? Only at CMCB!

This year’s Performathon is a series of in-person concerts and events that will be premiered in Allen Hall, and streamed live for audiences across all performances and sessions: January 30 – January 31, 2026.

Performers of all ages across the CMCB community are welcome to participate in Performathon!

Performers can play anything they would like to share. From five note scales to a movement from a concerto, this is open to all ages, all instruments, and all genres of music (including original works!)

If you are a student interested in signing up to perform, complete the Performathon Student Sign-Up Form here!

Performathon is also a fundraiser for student scholarships ! Help us make sure that finances are not a barrier to participate in music! It’s a great opportunity for students to step-up and express more about what they love about CMCB.

Families, staff, friends, and donors – you can participate too!

We hope that you will consider being a champion for CMCB! If you are interested in participating, you can create a personal fundraising page here: givebutter.com/CMCBPerformathon2026
