Orchestra Iowa and Ballet Quad Cities team up once again this year for “The Nutcracker,” Dec. 7 at 2:30 and 7:30 at the Paramount Theatre. Music Director Tim Hankewich says that even though the Tchaikovsky’s music doesn’t change, the dancers and choreography do, presenting unique challenges and opportunities for both dancers and musicians.
Tim also tells the story of how the ballet, not one of Tchaikovsky’s important works during his life, became a modern holiday tradition.
