A Hanukkah Celebration on Classical 101.1 WRR
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 12/12/2020
Join violinist Itzhak Perlman as he tells the story of the Jewish festival of lights, and shares his favorite recordings for the holiday - some serious, some silly. This special includes numbers from Itzhak Perlman's radio-addicted childhood in Israel, evocative songs in Yiddish and Ladino, classical music that revolves around the Maccabee heroes of the story, and Chanukah gems by American folk singers.
The master storyteller also regales you with jokes and memories, plus tales of three classic Chanukah symbols: the menorah, the latke, and, of course, the dreidel.

A Chanukah Celebration with Chicago a cappella
Saturday, Dec. 12 at 8 pm
Saturday, Dec. 12 at 8 pm
Join Jonathan Miller, artistic director of Chicago a cappella and a longtime champion of Jewish choral music, for an inspiring and informative show featuring choral music set to Chanukah texts. Familiar tunes include I Have a Little Dreidel (both in its original Yiddish form and in a neo-funk Hebrew/English setting), a swing version of S'vivon by Steve Barnett, and a lively setting of the traditional melody for Al-Hanissim (For the Miracles) by Elliot Levine. Heartfelt original compositions by American and British composers provide added depth of expression to celebrating the holiday. Such works include Lo Yisa Goy, a plea for peace by Stacy Garrop; Bob Applebaum's stirring new version of Haneirot Halalu; and movements from the majestic Hallel Suite by London-based Daniel Tunkel. All selections are performed by Chicago a cappella, the virtuoso vocal ensemble now in its 23rd season. Jonathan Miller provides liturgical and cultural background as part of this unique look inside old and newer choral Chanukah traditions.
