A thrilling Hanukkah celebration

It’s a high-octane mix of not-so traditional Chanukah music at Flushing Town Hall on Dec. 9 when Shtreiml performs.

Led by harmonica innovator and vocalist Jason Rosenblatt, the eclectic group — which features Rachel Lemisch on trombone, Thierry Arsenault on drums, Joel Kerr on bass, Michael Winograd on clarinet, and Ismail Fencioglu on oud and vocals — performs a mix of Eastern-European Jewish and Turkish music.

Come for dance lessons at 1 pm and stay for a fantastic musical celebration of the festival of lights.

Shtreiml at Flushing Town Hall on Dec. 9 at 2 pm. Tickets are $16 for non-member adults, $12 for member adults; $12 for non-member children and $10 member children.

Flushing Town Hall [137-35 Northern Blvd. in Flushing, (718) 463-7700; www.flushingtownhall.org].
