Fall Welcome Concert
Hancher welcomes back our entire community for a free music festival-style event on our front lawn. The event opens with Reyna Tropica and ends with Cory Wong. Dawes is the headliner for this event.
Cyrille Aimée
Cyrille Aimée has perfected the intermingling of a host of traditions and styles—including the irrepressible dance rhythms of her mother’s Caribbean heritage, the vibrant and varied sounds of New Orleans and New York, the immediacy of pop music, and the accessible sophistication of jazz.
Leyla McCalla
Leyla McCalla’s music is a potent amalgam of history and mastery. Her music balances the heavy and the light and draws from sources across the African diaspora—including Afrobeat, Ethiopian modalities, Brazilian Tropicalismo, American blues, and Haitian folk music.
La Doña
A Mexican-American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist sings of love, heartbreak, and rising rents. As La Doña, San Francisco-born Cecilia Cassandra Peña-Govea composes songs that explore radical brown femininity and blend the sounds of the Caribbean, reggaeton, and hip-hop.
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra
America’s second oldest symphony orchestra—and one of its finest—presents an exploration of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s music under the baton of self-described “bon vivant” Stéphane Denève.
Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan brings her irresistible charisma and her sparkling catalog of hits—including “Sweet Thing,” “You Got the Love,” “I Feel For You,” and “Tell Me Something Good”—to the Hancher stage for an unmissable night of celebration.
Old Crow Medicine Show
Old Crow Medicine Show continues to explore sounds both old and new, foreign and familiar, and keep bringing audiences to their feet night after night.
Straight No Chaser
Hancher audiences love to bring in the holiday season with the inimitable style of Straight No Chaser. Unwrap the gift of impeccable a cappella as the guys sing not only holiday favorites but their beautifully blended arrangements of popular hits.
Fierce Discussion Panel
Join us at Voxman for an invigorating conversation with the creators and performers of Fierce, an electrifying new opera gracing the stage of Hancher Auditorium on April 26 and 27!
