Events Calendar

The concert is held in the Mary Stuart Rogers Music Center on the Willamette University campus. Featured are the Willamette University choirs, carols sung by the audience, and sacred readings and seasonal poetry read by Professor Jeanne Clarke. Hudson Hall is beautifully decorated for this sell-out event. This long running tradition is seen by many as the official beginning to the holiday season in Salem, and we invite you to take part and be moved by the music of the season.

For those new to our community, this performance has its Willamette roots in the Lessons and Carols service originally created in Oxford, England. We give it a special Willamette flavor by having rhetoric Prof. Jeanne Clark construct a series of seasonal readings to thread together the carols sung by the audience and the special feature selections performed by Male Ensemble Willamette, Voce Femminile and the Chamber Choir.
