Presented by CCMpower, a dedicated volunteer group of friends, advocates and alumni, Moveable Feast: Illuminate generates essential support for the next generation of performing and media artists at CCM. Audiences are invited to step into a vibrant celebration of artistry and innovation, where they will be immersed in the sights, sounds and flavors that make CCM a world-class creative institution.

As audiences move throughout the building, they will enjoy delicious handheld bites and libations while sampling bite-sized performances. Moveable Feast 2026 features more artistry than ever before — from orchestra, winds and jazz concerts paired with the dazzling lighting design creations to incredible musical theatre, opera, dance and acting performances. Enjoy interactive experiences, including backstage tours of the CCM Scene Shop and Media Production studios, and learn how to play an instrument with CCM Music Education. Discover the excellence of CCM's student stars with experiences that span the spectrum of the performing and media arts.

This year's event also welcomes CCM alumni guest of honor Scott Coulter (BFA Musical Theatre, '93) and celebrates longtime CCM supporters Patti Myers and Alan Flaherty, honorary co-chairs of the event. Join us for the Coda Afterparty, featuring ice cream provided by Graeters in the CCM Atrium!
