Presented in collaboration with Creative Matters, a program of The Office of the Vice President for Research, and The Iowa Neuroscience InstituteRenée Fleming's exquisite voice is arguably one of nature's masterworks. In her return to the Hancher stage, she lends that unadulterated sound to a National Geographic Society film inspired by her 2023 Grammy Award-winning album that explores nature as both an inspiration to and victim of humanity. Spanning classical, romantic, and contemporary music, Fleming offers a live and affecting soundtrack to a film about life itself. In the second half of the program, Fleming will perform music by Fauré, Grieg, Puccini, Jerome Kern, and Andrew Lippa.
