Music lovers across the Palouse can usher in the holiday season with the Washington State University School of Music’s holiday celebration, Home for the Holidays. The event takes place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, in a fully decorated Bryan Hall Theatre on the WSU Pullman campus. It is free and open to the public and will be livestreamed on the School of Music’s YouTube channel.
Sharing the stage will be WSU’s Choral Ensembles directed by Dean Luethi and Matthew Myers, the WSU Wind Ensemble directed by Danh Pham, the WSU Jazz Big Band directed by Aaron Hill, and selected student chamber ensembles. The program will also include a sing-along featuring WSU choirs and band.
The collaborative musical experience will feature music inspired by the theme Home for the Holidays. The eclectic pieces are designed to invoke the homey feeling of celebrating the holidays with loved ones.
The concert is family-friendly and will include a silent auction. Auction items include Colfax Golf Club packages, gift cards from local shops and restaurants, gift baskets, movie tickets, handcrafted items, and more. All proceeds will go towards music student scholarships.
The silent auction is currently open online and will remain open until the end of the concert on Saturday, Dec. 7.
