TICKETS
Free and open to the public, RSVP required.
Registration opens Wednesday, January 20.
Audiences travel through three of Hancher’s spaces for performances by Iowa-based musicians. The format is part concert, part architectural tour, and each set brings a different texture: percussion ringing through the lobby's open volumes, a low-end duo with electronics in the club space, and a saxophone quartet in the behind-the-scenes backstage transfer area.
Iowa Percussion starts the tour with music by Susie Ibarra inspired by Philippine kulintang traditions. University of Iowa composition professor Jean-François Charles and University of Northern Iowa bass professor Will Yager perform an arrangement of a Tod Machover work for bass clarinet, double bass, and electronics that draws on MIT research into therapeutic brainwaves. They will follow it up with a remix of music by Henry Threadgill. The Dimma Saxophone Quartet, drawn from the UI School of Music’s celebrated saxophone studio, closes with a piece by Fodé Lassana Diabaté which evokes the 13th-century Mali Empire.
PROGRAM
Iowa Percussion: Susie IBARRA: Pulsation / Smith Lobby
Jean-Francois Charles: Todd MACHOVER: Gammified (a version for clarinet(s) and electronics) & Henry THREADGILL: Sixfivetwo / Club Hancher
Dimma Saxophone Quartet: Fodé Lassana DIABATÉ: Sunjata's Time / Transfer Area
