Chanukah: Songs of Light with Noah Aronson & The Or Collective at Ravinia
The Or Collective’s local makeup is central to this Chanukah booking: the group brings musicians and spiritual leaders from Chicagoland’s Jewish community into an evening with composer Noah Aronson.
A community ensemble in the lineup
The event identifies Chanukah as the Festival of Lights and places The Or Collective alongside Aronson as a group in its own right. Its members are described as musicians and spiritual leaders from Chicagoland’s Jewish community, giving the concert a local community dimension as well as a holiday setting.
The listing says the evening is intended to resonate across generations, but does not name the Collective’s members or specify its instruments.

Original work, with dialogue in the frame
Aronson is a Berklee-trained composer whose original work spans spiritual, creative and secular contexts. The event description also connects his performances with dialogue, making conversation part of the stated approach rather than describing the booking as music alone.
The listing notes that Aronson has released eight albums. His wider creative practice includes working with Behrman House on Hebrew in Harmony and creating BeMajor, a platform focused on creativity, spirituality and embodied presence. Neither project is announced as part of this Ravinia program.
