BELOVED TUDOR HOLIDAY DINNER CONCERTS WILL BRING FESTIVE FOOD, MUSIC AND PAGEANTRY TO MEMORIAL UNION NOV. 30-DEC. 4 

MADISON – The Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts will return to Memorial Union’s Great Hall for five nights of holiday music and dining from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4. The dinner concerts did not occur in 2020 or 2021 due to COVID-19, so this year marks a return to the in-person, time-honored celebration of warmth, fellowship and history.

Each evening of this beloved Wisconsin Union tradition will feature a delicious feast, a grand processional, old English pageantry, a Yuletide toast and choral performances by the Philharmonic Chorus of Madison, Madison’s premier a cappella chorus. New Choir Director Clare Malinowski will lead Chorus members and audience members in joyful carols throughout the evening.

This year’s brand-new dinner menu, crafted by the Wisconsin Union catering team, features entree options of maple-glazed pork tenderloin with mustard fingerlings or a vegetarian maple-glazed acorn squash; sides of caramelized onion and apple chutney and herb-buttered carrots and green beans; and a dessert of flaming figgy pudding with hard sauce. Prior to dinner, patrons will also enjoy wassail, a hot mulled cider delight and a Tudor Holiday Dinner Concert tradition.

Tickets to the Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts will go on sale on Oct. 19 on the event website. Patrons can choose between four different ticket prices, depending on the type of table and the patron’s Wisconsin Union membership status. Seats at a four-person cabaret table are $75 per person for Wisconsin Union members and $85 for nonmembers, while seats at a 10-person oval table are $65 for members and $75 for nonmembers.

“I’m excited and honored to be a part of the Philharmonic Chorus of Madison and the fabulous Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts,” said Philharmonic Chorus of Madison Director Clare Malinowski. “I hope this year’s dinners leave new and returning guests feeling joyful and light as we bring back live performances. I’m thankful to be a part of this treasured tradition while introducing a fresh spirit that is welcoming and warm to all attendees and participants.”

The schedule for the evening includes wassail and hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m., and choral presentations throughout the night.

While there is no dress code for the event, most guests dress in semi-formal attire. Guests may choose to wear Renaissance period costumes if they so desire.

The Tudor Dinners at the University of Wisconsin-Madison date back to 1933, when a group of community singers, under the direction of professor Edgar B. Gordon, agreed to sing a Christmas program at the University Club and the Wisconsin Union. The idea for the holiday dinners was borrowed from the Todd Union at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, where a legend of English pageantry crossed the Atlantic Ocean from England. 

According to the legend, an Oxford University student once saved a scholar from a wild boar attack. The Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts pay homage to this story with a presentation of a boar’s head prior to serving dinner.

The Philharmonic Chorus of Madison first performed at the Tudor Holiday Dinners in 1972, led by then-Director Samuel L. Jones, and in 1973 the event became known as the Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts. Today, more than 50 members make up the Chorus, an audition-only a capella group that has shared music with the Madison community since 1946. The Chorus performs in two concert series each year: the Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts and three spring performances.

Ticket and event information about the Tudor Holiday Dinner Concerts is available at union.wisc.edu/events-and-activities/special-events/tudor-holiday-dinner-concerts.

Dartmouth College Ranks Jeannie Cullen Schultz in 100 Greatest Athletes of All Time

Jeannie Cullen Schultz, Co-President of JP Cullen, has had a very successful athletic and professional career to date. One more accolade has been added to her resume. Dartmouth College just released their Top 100 Greatest Athletes of All Time list, and Jeannie has made that list.

Jeannie attended Dartmouth College from 2002 – 2006 and was a star student-athlete on the women’s basketball team. She scored 1,481 points and played in 112 games, averaging 12.2 points per game. Jeannie is the record holder for three-point makes in the Ivy League. She led her team to Ivy League championships and the NCAA Tournament, almost upsetting the number 2 seed, Rutgers University.

Jeannie intended to pursue a career in sports coaching, but the prospect of joining the family business changed that path. She started as a project manager for the HVAC contractor North American Mechanical. In 2013, Jeannie was tasked with expanding the healthcare market in Dane county, including growing the team of healthcare experts. Then in 2020, she stepped into the Co-Presidency role and now leads a $500 million a year firm and a staff of 650 people.

Jeannie has a competitive nature born out of years of playing sports throughout high school and college. She has experienced first-hand the power of a talented, unified team and has made that the foundation of JP Cullen’s mission.
