2011 Holiday Event Schedule


Sewickley Light Up Night- What you need to know!


CYM's annual performance at Light Up Night this year should be a great one! 

A favorite of the CYM community, Sewickley Yuletide Light Up Night festivities launch the holiday season for the surrounding community with the quaint downtown as a backdrop to live entertainment, carriage rides, and fireworks! CYM families, friends, are welcome to attend this fun event- it is free and open to the public.

Performers and their families, please make a note of the following information for Friday evening:

  • PARKING- You are encouraged to utilize the parking available in the free Sewickley Valley Hospital parking lot- exit the lot and walk down Locust Street onto Beaver. Use this handy map to navigate other free parking areas. 
  • TIMING- The students are arranged in 30 minute blocks.  Please be prompt and arrive 10 minutes early to get instruments out and tuned.  We ask that you be flexible as the possibility to go a little earlier or later than your time slot may arise.  
  • SPACE- Enter Penguin Bookshop at the front entrance on Beaver Street. CYM staff will be present to guide you where you need to go. Space in the Munchkin's Loft (upstairs) will be tight so parents should be prepared to hold their child’s violin or cello case for the duration of their performance.  
  • INSTRUMENTS- Some of you have asked if it would be possible to leave instruments at the Penguin Book Shop while enjoying the rest of the evening; due to the space constraints that won’t be possible.  
  • DRESS- Feel free to wear fun holiday attire. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather!
