Carl and Lance perform in both jazz band and jazz choir, so picked a nice mix of instrumentals, vocals, and also looked out for their director, making sure Mr. Cervantez’s favorite tune was a part of the show!

Set in a 1960s Irish amateur theatre, it’s the sweet story of a man coming to terms with his sexuality in a community and time not known for open-mindedness.

Please pardon Orchestra Iowa’s Tim Hankewich for being just a tad jittery this week, as he takes the stage with world-renown pianist Emanuel Ax for three performances, April 12-15.
It’s a landmark event for Orchestra Iowa, which Emanuel chose out of all the orchestras in the country to come for free to perform and clinic. The UI’s Hancher has had a long and close relationship with Ax, and it was they who brought Orchestra Iowa to Ax’s attention.
He’ll perform Brahm’s 2nd Piano Concerto, coincidentally the same piece he performed as a young artist with the Cedar Rapids Symphony in 1983.
Tim says that Emanuel’s residency is tribute to the resilience and support of the Eastern Iowa Community for Orchestra Iowa, in its return post-flood, and position as one of the nation’s leading small orchestras.
Tickets for the fundraising Gala Friday night, and the concerts Saturday and Sunday are still available at www.orchestraiowa.org.
