A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King’s College Cambridge
Sunday, December 3 from 8pm – 9:30pm
A central celebration of Christmas in England since 1918, the service has been broadcast live on the BBC since 1928. Selected readings are recited and carols – old and new – are sung in the centuries-old college chapel by the world-renowned Choir of King’s College Cambridge. The service is the essence of Christmas in England and was recorded on location by King’s College live in 2018 during the centennial celebration for this English tradition.
Hanukkah Celebration with Chicago’s a Capella
Thursday, December 7 from 4pm – 5pm and Friday, December 15 from 4pm – 5pm
Join Jonathan Miller, artistic director of Chicago a cappella and a longtime champion of Jewish choral music, for an inspiring and informative show featuring choral music set to Hanukkah texts. Familiar tunes include “I Have a Little Dreidel” (both in its original Yiddish form and in a neo-funk Hebrew/English setting), a swing version of “S’vivon” by Steve Barnett, and a lively setting of the traditional melody for “Al-Hanissim” (“For the Miracles”) by Elliot Levine. All selections are performed by Chicago a cappella, the virtuoso vocal ensemble now in its 23rd season. Jonathan Miller provides liturgical and cultural background as part this unique look inside old and new choral Hanukkah traditions.
