Get into the seasonal spirit with this soulful and swinging big band concert by the Eyal Vilner Big Band on Sunday, December 11 in Brooklyn. Inspired by Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker, Vilner’s jazzy and festive Hanukkah concert honors the beauty of traditional Hanukkah songs while blending the sounds of jazz and swing with Israeli, Jewish and Middle Eastern music.
Israeli saxophonist, clarinetist, flutist, composer and bandleader Eyal Vilner is one of the leading new voices in the New York swing and big band scene. His Big Band has performed in New York at Lincoln Center, The Guggenheim, Birdland, and Dizzy's Club, and in Israel at the Red Sea Jazz Festival, Jerusalem Theater, and The Tel Aviv Jazz Festival. You can even meet the artists after the concert.
