Tim Hankewich from Orchestra Iowa joins Dennis Green to talk about “Past is Prologue,” a concert that demonstrates some common threads between pieces composed in three different centuries, one from 1986, practically last week by Classical music standards.
Also on the program is Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #2, which features a trumpet part so challenging, for centuries musicologists presumed it was written for another instrument. Orchestra Iowa’s principal trumpet, Andy Classen from Drake, will tackle the challenging piece, even though Tim notes that Bach’s trumpet player died of an aneurysm, presumably from the effort of performing pieces like this!
Feb. 10 at the Paramount Theatre, February 11 at Iowa City West. Tickets and info at www.orchestraiowa.org or 319.369.TUNE.
