That jolly elf Tim Hankewich from Orchestra Iowa is in to talk about the Orchestra’s holiday concerts.
The musicians are extra busy this year as they have to learn to entirely different versions of “The Nutcracker,” as they accompany the Joffrey Ballet at Hancher then turn right around THE NEXT NIGHT and perform with the Quad Cities Ballet at the Paramount on Dec. 5 and at the Adler Theatre Dec. 10.
Then it’s back to the Paramount Dec. 17-18 for the Orchestra’s annual Holiday Spectacular, once again featuring several brand new arrangements by Tim himself, and special appearances by Alisabeth Von Presley, the Mighty Wurlitzer, CR Concert Chorale, Discovery Chorus, and much more.
It’s not Christmas unless you spend some of it with the Orchestra. Tickets and info at www.orchestraiowa.org.
