Friends of Tim Hankewich know the Orchestra Iowa maestro’s good luck charm is a Star Trek comm badge, which he wears inside his tux coat.
Don’t be surprised if the comm badge is proudly out and displayed on his lapel at Brucemorchestra, this Saturday, Sept. 14. It’s an all-space program, with the themes from Star Trek and Star Wars, plus the most famous space symphony of them all, Holst’s “The Planets.”
Also on the program is a brand new work, co-commissioned by Orchestra Iowa, From Earth to the Moon and Beyond, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, and narrated live by two NASA astronauts, Joan Higginbotham and Daniel Burkhardt.
Meet the astronauts and see a genuine NASA space suit at Family STEAM Day when the gates open at 5pm. Concert at 7pm.
And, Dennis gets to tackle the narration dream of every nerd!
