Orchestra Iowa has two great concerts coming up.
“Tales of Hemingway” continues this season’s spotlight on women performers and composers with “My Name is Amanda Todd” by Jocelyn Morlock, inspired by a real-life tragedy brought on by cyber-bullying. The title song on the program is a Grammy-winning work by Cedar Rapids native Michael Daugherty, featuring cellist Zuill Bailey, who performed the piece on the CD that won the award!
Tim did not know Michael was from Cedar Rapids at the time he came to Orchestra Iowa, and tells the story of his shock when he bumped into the world-renown composer at KCCK’s Jazz Under the Stars.
On February 23, Orchestra Iowa presents a tribute to David Bowie, featuring a full rock band.
“Tales of Hemingway” Feb. 16-17.
“The Music of David Bowie” Feb. 23.
