Hancher

Steven Schick will explore the music of John Luther Adams and the ways contemporary music engages the natural world and works to raise climate-consciousness.

Inuksuit comes to Iowa City where Schick will be joined by nearly a hundred percussionists from around the Midwest to celebrate this music and its legacy.  

In celebration of Steve Schick’s residency, Iowa Percussion will present a gala concert.

Steven Schick will present a lecture and recital that explores the importance of engaging with complex music.

As part of “Infinite Dream,” Patti Smith will read from her acclaimed poetry at The Englert Theatre.

The Jerusalem Quartet brings an evening of Dmitri Shostakovich’s searingly intense music to Hancher’s intimate onstage experience. The ensemble will perform two Shostakovich quartets in the first concert and two different quartets by the composer in the second concert.

The Crossing and the UI choir Kantorei will perform together at the top of concert and music director Donald Nally will lead The Crossing in the performance of Lang’s “poor hymnal.”

The company that carries forward the name of master modern dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey is—to put it simply—simply breathtaking.

“Touch of RED” is the beautiful new entry in Pitts’s and TRIBE’s ongoing Red Series, which explores Black multiplicity and human connection. “Touch of RED” is a duet for Black men who come together in a boxing ring—not for a display of aggression but rather for an exploration of vulnerability, effeminacy, and healing.

Hancher and Feed Me Weird Things present a totally unique evening of music and food.
