Culture Crawl 772 “Punching Above Our Weight Class”

Tim Hankewich has just returned from New York, where he served as assistant conductor for the New York Philharmonic’s concert simulcast of “Jurassic Park.” He says that while the Phil is certainly as good as advertised, there isn’t as much space between that orchestra and ours as you might think.

Next up for the Orchestra Iowa’s 100th season celebration is “Homecoming,” featuring nationally renown pianist and Iowa City Conor Hanick. Also on the program is Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony, which also has an Iowa connection, composed while the composer was spending the summer in Spillville.

Nov. 19 at the Paramount, Nov. 20 at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets and more info at www.orchestraiowa.org.
