Eight Nights of Light

Eight Nights of Light is a fantastic medley of traditional Chanukah and Jewish tunes arranged for today’s middle and high school concert band. Composer Jonathan Leshnoff took inspiration from childhood memories of gathering around the menorah with his family and warming the cold winter nights with singing and inspiration. This cheery and vivid work is a joy for students to play and audiences to hear. A wonderful addition to your holiday programming.
