Experience the riches of the a cappella Jewish
tradition. Superb
settings from Chicago’s legendary Max Janowski are
combined with
rarely heard chant melodies, music of Renaissance
composer Salamone Rossi, and new works
by Paul Schoenfield, Robert Applebaum, and Pulitzer Prize winner Shulamit
Ran. Our
15th Anniversary Commissioning
Series is launched with a tour-de-force “Hava Nagila” by acclaimed composer
Stacy Garrop. This moving and evocative concert experience will reflect the solemnity, humor, and
rich variety of Jewish music.
