Christmas in Hudson Hall

December 8th and 9th

7:30 p.m. | Mary Stuart Rogers Center

The Willamette University Choral Department presents its annual Christmas in Hudson Hall concerts on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m., in the Mary Stuart Rogers Center on Willamette’s campus. The performance includes sacred songs, dramatic readings and traditional carols in the gorgeous Hudson Hall that will be transformed into a wonderland of lit Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands. As the lights lower, the festive decorations transport the audience to Christmas celebrations of the past.

For many members of the Salem community, Christmas in Hudson Hall marks their official beginning of the holiday season. The event is a tradition that originated as a lessons and carols service. While it has grown into a broader service, it stays true to its original intent of illuminating the Christmas story through music and reading. This sell-out event features the Willamette University choirs, carols sung with the audience, sacred readings and seasonal poetry prepared and read by Rhetoric Professor Jeanne Clark.
