Chanukah 2024 – 10th Anniversary Concert

Chanukah, the festival of lights, is an ancient Jewish holiday. This year we are also proud to celebrate our 10th Anniversary Concert. Together with the Jewish Community of Amsterdam, we will celebrate the fourth night of Chanukah by jointly lighting the Chanukia (traditional eight armed candelabra) on the stage of The Concertgebouw. We’ve put together a special program made up of highlights from our previous nine concerts – which will appeal to both a Jewish and non-Jewish audience. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Musicians and repertoire

The Jewish Amsterdam Chamber Ensemble will perform a broad spectrum program incorporating Jewish, Israeli, classical, and contemporary music. The soloists for the evening will be announced at a later date. The Musical Director for the evening will be Barry Mehler and Concert patron Leo Samama, like the previous 9 years.

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 donation from the Maror Foundation.
