Chanukah Memories and Melodies

Portraits of the featured artists
WQXR Special Programming

Wed Jan 1 at 6pm on 90.5 FM | Six prominent artists share memories of Chanukah, and the music the holiday brings to mind.

From soothing to surprising, from reverent to rowdy, their musical choices will inspire and delight you. With Broadway actress Tovah Feldshuh, MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient cellist Alisa Weilerstein, founder of the Detroit-based Sphinx Foundation, and more. Hosted by WQXR's Elliott Forrest.
