Handel: "Judas Maccabeus"
A New and Inclusive Tradition for Hanukkah
in collaboration with the Jewish Heritage Fund, The Temple, Congregation Adath Jeshurun
Featuring the Choir of St. Francis in the Fields, Kirk Rich, Director
at The Temple - Congregation Adath Israel Brith Sholom
The composer of "Messiah" presents a powerful and evocative oratorio retelling the story of Hanukkah, and its central hero, Judas Maccabeus, and how he fought off the invaders trying to prevent his people from worshipping their religion freely. In presenting this work, we hope to establish a new holiday tradition, where this retelling of the story of Hanukkah is presented every year alongside holiday hits like "Messiah" and Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker". This event is open and inclusive to all audience members of all faiths and walks of life, to bring our entire community together to truly celebrate *all* of the holidays this season.
The Concert is free, with voluntary suggested donation ($40 adults, $10 students). Please register your attendance so we can reserve a spot for you and be prepared to serve you best!
