As the days grow shorter and the cold starts to settle in, the songs of winter offer warmth and brightness that mark the changing of the seasons and time with family and friends.

A beloved annual tradition for many, Cantabile’s December concerts are a mix of traditional carols and seasonal music from around the world – a festive musical journey to light up the dark nights with our collective winter song.

This concert features the premiere performance of ‘River Snow’ by Qiushi Jiang, 1st-place prize winner of Cantabile’s inaugural 2022 BIPOC Song Competition.
 

For millennia, the infinite night sky and the luminous wonders of the galaxy have captured the imagination of artists and scientists alike. Featuring a special light installation and custom immersive animations, CONSTELLATIONS is a one-of-a-kind production that invites the audience to ponder the musical soundscapes of the universe.

This year, the 11th annual Turkey Trot will happen Thanksgiving Monday (October 10th) and
we are back and in-person!

The Turkey Trot has always been about creating a family friendly local event that supports the 
YMCA Strong Communities Campaign
- supporting children, teens, adults and seniors in our community who are in need of assistance by eliminating financial barriers. 

We offer a fun experience that provides much needed funds to the YMCA to allow them to continue their great work helping individuals and families.

Not only do you get to have fun and help the community, you have the chance to win an amazing prize by random drawings.

You can put some turkey fun into your run/walk and try for the Golden Drumstick trophy and prize.
