Israeli singer-songwriter David Broza and singer and activist Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary are among the line-up of performers and VIPs who will dine among guests and lead Chicagoans in City Winery’s interactive Passover Seder dinner hosted by City Winery founder Michael Dorf.

The fourth Downtown Seder, set for Monday, April 18, will feature guests seated at long family-style tables, each set with the traditional accoutrements, including Seder plate and matzoh.

Performers, seated with guests throughout the room, will expound on various sections of the Passover Haggadah, which has been specially developed for this night. In an approximately 90-minute program, all of the customary traditions will be followed, including drinking of four glasses of wine (produced by City Winery), discussing the four children, reciting the four questions, and eating a kosher-style or vegetarian meal prepared by City Winery Executive Chef Andres Barrera.

What makes the Downtown Seder different from all other Seders is the addition of artists-local and national-each offering their unique interpretation of the important lessons from the timeless Exodus story-the universal message of going from slavery to freedom.

“The Downtown Seder is specifically being held four days prior to the start of Passover so that guests might bring the inspiration into their homes and make their own Seder dinner more relevant,” said Dorf.

Only 300 tickets for the City Winery Seder are available, priced at $70, $110, $125 and $145 (based on location). Vegetarian and kosher-style meal is included, with a Kosher option available for an additional $25.00/person.
