Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo returns to Temple Emanu-El to curate and perform this very special Chanukah celebration featuring soprano Angel Blue and Brooklyn Youth Chorus.

The performance will begin with selections from Handel’s celebrated oratorio on Chanukah themes. It will also feature some of his most exquisite arias, and then offer an exploration of the work of contemporary composers and modern masters, including a work by Carlos Simon written for Costanzo and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, and a 20th-century reimagining of traditional folk music.

Featuring:

Anthony Roth Costanzo, countertenor “brilliant” (New York Times)
Angel Blue, soprano “radiant” (New York Times)
Eric Jacobsen, conductor “an interpretive dynamo” (New York Times)
