Orchestra Iowa’s Tim Hankewich went south for his holiday break. But farther south than most, Antarctica. He’s still on a bit of a high from his trip, and gives us some highlights, before telling the story behind the upcoming concert. It’s the first in a series of concerts celebrating the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. Tim says Beethoven’s 7th Symphony is his personal favorite.
Also on the program is a Sibelius concerto featuring one of today’s pre-eminent violinists, Bella Hristova. He also describes the personal connection to Cedar Rapids this week’s guest concertmaster has.
Jan. 31 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts, Feb. 1 at the Paramount Theater. 7:30 both nights with a pre-concert talk an hour before downbeat. Tickets and more information at www.orchestraiowa.org.
