Proceeds from the concert will directly benefit the YES Shelter for Youth and Families. For over 30 years, the shelter has provided emergency shelter, housing, and support services to youth and families in Peterborough. Its mission is to offer a safe, supportive environment for individuals in need, helping them navigate difficult times and work toward a brighter future.

The concert has a mix of traditional and contemporary Christmas and winter songs. This year’s concert will feature three local groups:

• Carried Away: an acoustic string and vocal band known for their unique interpretations of holiday classics.

• Convivio Chorus: a dynamic choral group that will fill the hall with beautiful, heartwarming harmonies.

• Curtis Driedger: a talented singer-songwriter whose soulful performance will add a personal touch to the evening.

“I’m just so happy that 25 years later, our performers still want to do the show and that people still want to come and share our musical experience and support YES together,” said John Hoffman, In From the Cold founder. “On a deeply personal note, the thing I really love about In From the Cold is that each year we find new, interesting, and beautiful music that I’m excited to work on and perform. That keeps me feeling young. Each year, when I walk out on that stage, I feel like a kid again.”
