The Hilltop Oratorio Choir will perform “250+ Years of American Christmas Music” on Sunday, December 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at Hilltop Presbyterian Church, 20 Hilltop Road in Mendham Borough. The holiday concert is part of the church’s 2026-2027 Hilltop Concert Series, and the choir will be accompanied by organ, handbells, a wind ensemble and percussion.
The program is built around America’s 250th birthday. The concert carries the official America 250 mark, and its title promises a tour of Christmas music from across more than two and a half centuries of American history, sung by a full choir with instruments filling out the sound. It is one of the more ambitious ways to mark the semiquincentennial during the holiday season anywhere in Morris County.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. If you cannot make it to Mendham in person, a live stream option is available, so family members out of town can watch from home. For ticket information, call 973-543-4012. Hilltop Church also posts concert ticket details on its concert ticket page.
Music at Hilltop Church is led by Music Director James Wynne, who oversees the church’s concert lineup along with its Sanctuary Choir, the Joyful Ringers and its children’s choirs. The full season is listed on the church’s music page. Earlier this fall, the series brought Yale’s Spizzwinks(?), the a cappella group founded in 1914, to the same sanctuary on October 23.
Mendham has leaned into the America 250 celebration all year, including a free talk on rare photos of Revolutionary War veterans at the Mendham Township Library. A Sunday afternoon start time also makes this an easy one to pair with other holiday plans, and our month-by-month guide to 100+ winter events in Morris County has tree lightings, holiday markets and more across all 39 towns.
