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.

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.

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.

Duke Ellington Sacred Music Concerts with Kantorei and Johnson County Landmark

Please join Johnson County Landmark and Kantorei for an exceptionally rare performance of selections from Duke Ellington’s “Sacred Concerts.” This composition is a truly collaborative masterwork which combines elements of jazz, classical music, choral music, spirituals, gospel, blues and dance into a single body of work. Originally composed as three separate concerts (premiered in ’65, ’68 and ’73), this music represents the very first time in jazz history that the traditional divide between the sacred and secular factions of Black music culture was blatantly crossed.
