Amadeus Concert Ensemble: Chanukah Music Fest
Amadeus Concert Ensemble will present a free community-wide Chanukah Music Fest under the direction of Maestro Brian Salesky. The event, featuring three centuries of musical styles, is divided into five sections, each holding a special significance to the holiday: Chanukah Menorah Ceremony, Ladino Hanuka Kantikas, Yiddish Chanike Lieder, Honoring the Maccabees and Chanukah Folksongs.
The quartet of vocal soloists will be led by Puerto Rican soprano Abigail Santos Villalobos who has been heard in leading operatic roles with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera, San Diego Opera, Arizona Opera and Fort Worth Opera. She will be joined by alto Diana Salesky, tenor John Overholt, baritone Joel Brown, and the Stanford Eisenberg Knoxville Jewish Day School Choir. Participants also include Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon and Keith Barber, president of the East Tennessee Foundation.
