A beloved holiday tradition returns with the Nathan Olsen Trio and Abiqua Academy Choir

Salem, Ore., December 18, 2025 — Chemeketa Community College invites the community to celebrate the holiday season with The Music of A Charlie Brown Christmas on Saturday, December 20, at 7:00 p.m. The concert will take place in the Chemeketa Auditorium (Building 6), located at 4000 Lancaster Dr. NE in Salem, with parking available in the Purple Parking Area. 

Now in its third year at Chemeketa, this annual holiday favorite features the Nathan Olsen Trio—Nathan Olsen on keyboards, Andrew Kallenberger on bass, and Mark Powers on drums and percussion—and is joined this year by the Abiqua Academy Choir for a very special Christmas performance. The concert honors the spirit of Vince Guaraldi’s iconic 1965 soundtrack, blending faithful renditions with creative re-imaginings, rich sonic textures, extended musical explorations, and a few surprises along the way.

“This concert has become a cherished holiday tradition at Chemeketa,” said Auditorium Coordinator Stephen Munshaw. “We are proud to welcome back the Nathan Olsen Trio and to share this joyful collaboration with the Abiqua Academy Choir as we celebrate music, community, and the season together.”

Join Chemeketa for an unforgettable evening of jazz, holiday spirit, and timeless music that continues to delight audiences of all ages. Tickets are available through Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.com/e/the-music-of-a-charlie-brown-christmas-tickets-1770260690379?aff=oddtdtcreator
