Haifa to Host Special Hanukkah Pipe Organ Concert for Families
A special Hanukkah pipe organ concert for families will be held in Haifa at the Hecht Museum Auditorium on December 6, hosted by musicologist Dr. Yuval Rabin.
A unique Hanukkah musical experience for children and families will take place in Haifa, featuring a special organ concert at the Hecht Museum Auditorium on Sunday, December 6, at 11:00 AM.
The event highlights the pipe organ, one of the world's largest and most complex instruments, capable of producing the sound of an entire orchestra through a single performer. Featuring thousands of pipes, multiple keyboards, and foot pedals, the organ is rarely encountered up close by children. The concert allows young audiences to discover how the instrument works and how it imitates various other instruments.
Organist and musicologist Dr. Yuval Rabin will host the gathering, combining explanations and demonstrations with famous works, including Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Hanukkah-themed variations on "Judas Maccabaeus." According to Rabin, the concert was inspired by requests from families attending the long-running Haifa organ series who wanted to introduce their children to the unique instrument.
Following high demand, another children's concert is scheduled for April 23 during Passover. Tickets for the upcoming December performance are priced at 60 shekels.
