PERFORMATHON!
2026-05-02 09:00 - 17:00 | Community Music School, 775 West Main Street, Trappe, PA, 19426, United States
Our annual PERFORMATHON is an all-day marathon student recital fund-raiser, where students from our 600+ student body raise sponsorships for their performance. All proceeds go towards providing merit and need-based scholarships, as well as free or discounted programming for our students and our community. This Year, we were able to award over $110,000 to CMS students who otherwise may not have been able to advance their love for music. We would not be able to provide the nearly 50 free masterclasses, workshops, community events and recitals for our students and community without funds raised through Performathon! Please visit https://www.cmsmusic.org/performathon/ for more info!
