Bennett Gordon Hall - 201 Ravinia Park Rd.
Celebrate the Festival of Lights with Noah Aronson & The Or Ensemble December 2 at Ravinia Festival! One of the most sought-after Jewish musicians in North America, Aronson has earned that reputation with original songs that have a remarkable ability to inspire feelings of collective aliveness and joy. This Chanukah, he brings this transcendent approach to Ravinia’s Bennett Gordon Hall, assembling The Or Collective, a band of musicians and spiritual leaders from Chicagoland’s Jewish community, to share an evening of light and joy and spread music that nourishes, uplifts, and resonates across generations.
A Berklee-trained composer, Aronson bridges spiritual, creative, and secular spaces through his original works. His performances fuse music and dialog to create immersive moments that dissolve barriers and awaken a deep sense of belonging. He has released eight albums, featuring such popular songs as “Am I Awake?” and “Let There Be Love.” Beyond recording, Aronson has pioneered new models for experiential learning, collaborating with Behrman House on Hebrew in Harmony as well as creating BeMajor, a platform exploring creativity, spirituality, and embodied presence. With a reputation for turning any room into a space of meaning and belonging, Aronson’s work sits at the intersection of music, mindfulness, spirituality, and human connection.
