It’s a quick trip to Corvallis to visit the historic Whiteside Theater!
Born out of the relentless winter months of the Pacific Northwest — where Christmas sweaters adorn even the animal statues — this holiday concert hits different.
The Cello Project, known for their delightfully dedicated performances of both modern and classical music (and everything in between), invite Saeeda Wright on stage with them to bring a complement of unexpected classical jams to the holiday stage. Expect uniquely jazzy takes on holiday classics from What Child is This and Do You Hear What I Hear, to standards like What Are you Doing for New Years?, bridged with Hannukah medleys and hidden gem classical pieces from Benjamin Britten and renaissance rounds made famous by The Monkees.
Just try to be a scrooge at this concert. We dare you. There’s something for everyone, and all the gifts are tied together by the cello in the unique ways that have made The Cello Project a perennial favorite over the last decade.
Special Guest Saeeda Wright has been seen on stages backing Prince (as a member of his New Power Generation), and she has performed with gospel music greats Jessica Reedy, Cece Winans, Crystal Akin, JJ Harrison and Yvette Williams. She is regularly featured heating up the stage in The Cello Project’s Purple Reign programs, and The Cello Project is honored to have her continue their relationship, warming up some wonderful wintertime favorites on this program as well as a new album — also called Under the Mistletoe with Saeeda Wright — due out in November 2023.
Willamette Valley Symphony Concert–“Musical Stories”

Please join the WVS for an evening of Musical Stories. Our December concerts feature pianist Monica Ohuchi playing Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto no. 3. You will then escape into musical stories featuring the adventures of Hansel and Gretel (Humperdinck), the peaceful forest (Debussy’s Afternoon of a Faun), and finally the incredible Firebird Suite by Stravinsky, which depicts the struggle between Prince Ivan and the evil “Kastchei the Deathless.” With the help of the beautiful bird with feathers like flames, Prince Ivan claims victory. The concert is preceded by a pre-concert talk by Artistic Director Lance Inouye at 6:15 pm on Saturday and 3:15 pm on Sunday.
Save by purchasing season tickets for WVS’ last four concerts.

Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg
Carols of the Season
From the pen of Elaine Hagenberg, one of our country’s most innovative and exciting young composers, is a new five movement work for chamber orchestra and choir. This choral work utilizes ancient texts bringing the listener from the dark into light. Hagenberg’s haunting melodies, driving rhythms, and use of counterpoint are perfect to celebrate the holiday season. It’s a new work that truly captures the need for hope in our time, while acknowledging the uncertainty that surrounds us. The Corvallis Repertory Singers traditional concert concludes with carols old and new.
