Friday, September 11, 8 pm
with the UI Symphony Orchestra
Civic Center of Greater Des Moines
Benefit performance for Hancher Auditorium and the UI School of Music
The enduring relationship between Hancher Auditorium and the Joffrey Ballet has led to many artistic triumphs—from acclaimed world premieres on the Hancher stage to 2007’s whirlwind river-to-river tour of Iowa. On many occasions, including the historic debut presentations of the Joffrey’s Nutcracker, musicians from the UI School of Music have performed with the company.
Now, the Joffrey Ballet will dance—and the UI Symphony Orchestra will play—in Des Moines in a benefit performance for both Hancher and the UI School of Music. We invite you to join us for this very special event featuring world-class artistry and built on steadfast friendship.
The program will include Kettentanz by Gerald Arpino, the late co-founder of the Joffrey Ballet; two works that celebrate the music of Richard Rodgers— …smile with my heart by UI alumnus Lar Lubovitch and Carousel (A Dance) by Christopher Wheeldon, one of today’s hottest choreographers; and Age of Innocence by New York City Ballet soloist-turned-choreographer Edwaard Liang, to music by Philip Glass and Thomas Newman.
