Music Direction by John William Trotter
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Back by popular demand–and to mark the release of our new recording on Cedille Records, Miracle of Miracles: Music for Hanukkah–we’ll celebrate the first night of Hanukkah with a reprise of this much-loved concert from last season, digging deeper than the “Dreidel Song” to unveil the richer meaning of the festival.
Keywords: reflective, surprising
