On Dec. 5, 2013, WQXR hosted live from The Greene Space of a special Chanukah event featuring music from Central Europe, Central Asia, the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa, performed by three ensembles: East of the River, Shashmaqam and The Dave Levitt Klezmer Trio.
WQXR host Naomi Lewin was the guide for a fascinating journey through Jewish music around the world.
