Join us in celebrating the third night of Chanukah with three great bands- and Latkes! Tuesday December 20, 7:00pm Cost: by donation! The Music of John Zorn’s Masada: “The idea with Masada is to produce a sort of radical Jewish music, a new Jewish music which is not the traditional one in a different arrangement, but music for the Jews of today. The idea is to put Ornette Coleman and the Jewish scales together.” John Zorn

The Klein Party: @thekleinparty returns for its 3rd consecutive Royal Room Chanukah Party with a Chanukah-themed and -spirited set.
