Chanukah 2022

Come celebrate the last night of Chanukah in the Main Hall of The Concertgebouw! For the eight time we will celebrate Chanukah with the Jewish Community of Amsterdam jointly lighting the Chanukia (traditional eight-armed candelabra) on the eight night of Chanukah. We’ve put together a special program of musical gems which will appeal to both a Jewish and non-Jewish audience.

Musicians and repertoire

Once again we welcome Cantor Israel Nachman with his breathtaking voice and will be accompanied by the Jewish Amsterdam Chamber Ensemble. We will perform a broad-spectrum program incorporating Jewish, Israeli, classical, and contemporary music. This evening we will bring special attention to the celebration of the 75^th anniversary of the State of Israel. The Musical Director for the evening will be Barry Mehler and Concert patron will be Leo Samama.

Refreshments

At our concert you’ll enjoy more than just music. Everyone will be treated to a special Chanukah delicacy 'sufganiot' (jelly doughnuts) and kosher wine – all included in the ticket price.

This concert is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Maror Foundation.
