12-year-old pianist, singer, composer, songwriter,
and actor Ethan joins us for a spectacular
evening full of lyrical whimsy. As the youngest
headlining performer in the world, Ethan focuses
his philanthropic efforts as a way of giving back
to the Jewish community. With the help of the
Jewish Federations of North America, his family
emigrated from Russia when his father was a
young boy. After Ethan’s performance, dig in to
some delicious, kosher Graeter’s ice cream and
refreshments.

Celebrate the beginning of Chanukah with the
glorious oratorio Judas Maccabaeus, performed
by the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra and
a community chorus. Handel’s Maccabaeus,
composed in 1746, tells the heroic tale of Judas
Maccabee and the Maccabean revolt against
the Selucid Empire. Tapping into the moods
and emotions of the Jewish people as their fate
changes from dejection to jubilation, it provides a
wonderful gaze into Jewish history.
Co-sponsored by the Miami Valley Symphony
Orchestra
$18 per person*

book signing and a dessert reception.
