Listen to our KSB Trainers and Apprentices
Commonwealth Youthchoirs honors all faiths and traditions by having singers perform songs from around the world. This diverse repertoire helps transform young lives, one song at a time. On the first night of Chanukah, we wish all of our Jewish families the blessings of the miracle of the light and a joyful time with friends and family.
Take a moment to listen to our youngest Keystone State Boychoir singers, our trainers and apprentices, performing Valerie Shields’s arrangement of “S’vivon”, a traditional song about a spinning dreidel.
And if you would like to hear over 300 singers from CY perform Jason Robert Brown’s Chanukah Suite, please join us at 5:00 pm Sunday, December 17 for CY’s Holiday on the Square. Learn more here.
Happy first night of Chanukah!
