Chanukah 2022

Chanukah, the festival of lights, is an ancient Jewish holiday. The Chanukah Concert Foundation and the Jewish Community of Amsterdam will be celebrating the 2th night of Chanukah by jointly lighting the Chanukiah (traditional eight armed candelabra) on the stage of The Concertgebouw. We’ve put together a special program which will appeal to both a Jewish and non-Jewish audience. Everyone is welcome to attend.
