Judy Collins

Friday, December 2, 2022 at 8pm at South Orange PAC

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Judy Collins will be performing a Holiday & Hits concert program for the winter 2022 season. The Christmas concert series will feature a program of holiday classics, songs from Judy’s latest album, Spellbound—her 55th album and her first ever complete album of originals—and beloved songs culled from her six-decade career.

Holiday & Hits will be an intimately elegant Christmas experience curated by Judy. Her singular baroque folk sensibility is uniquely suited to entries from the Great Christmas Songbook. Under a Christmas tree of classic songs, Judy thoughtfully places gifts from her era-defining oeuvre—including  evergreens by Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Judy original favorites—future classics from her latest album, Spellbound. On Holiday & Hits, a cultural icon welcomes you to a winter wonderland.

Since her debut album, 1961’s Maid Of Constant Sorrow, Judy has remained a restlessly creative force with a vibrantly varied artistic palette. Today, she is recognized as a noted author, an Academy Award-nominated documentary director, a Grammy Award-winning recording artist, and a boldly vulnerable storyteller. As prolific and inspired as ever, Judy released her 29th studio album, Spellbound, on February 4th, 2022. The 13-song album is her most autobiographical and personal, and it is a special entry in her oeuvre, as it marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums.
