In a true performance piece, Igudesman starts us off, appropriately, with Jingle Bells, but a Jingle Bells heard through his ears. This polite opening quickly morphs into an Igudesman-style Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, followed by other surprises of sacred and secular bent. His opening note, Kind of Christmassy with a touch of Hannukah, is apt, as his (recommended) sung We Wish You a Merry Christmas leads directly into I Have a Little Dreidel. Timid violinists are advised to stick with the generic Silent Night (which, surprisingly, also makes an appearance here, along with Auld Lang Syne). True performers of advanced skills will want to work this oddity into their holiday program this year. Christmas Confusion is challenging for both players, but will delight audiences with surprising quotes from familiar materials.

Christmas and Chanukah faiths collide in this hilarious yet musically satisfying option for your winter program! Four popular Christmas melodies are set in four distinct and characteristic klezmer styles. Opening with Jingle Bells over a slow and dramatic Doina, the music moves into a lively version of We Wish You a Merry Christmas as a Bulgar. A Khosidl is the setting for a slower, restrained version of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (complete with shout chorus!). Then the music takes off with Deck the Halls presented as a Sher. Of course, the Dreidel Song makes a cameo appearance at the end. Tons of fun and wildly entertaining!
