Indulge in the expressive elegance of one of Europe's finest and most beloved chamber ensembles. With a reputation for incomparable performances and seamless ensemble playing, Hancher brings the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields back to Iowa City as "the very embodiment of the classical music establishment" (San Francisco Chronicle). Whether these musicians are tackling baroque masterpieces or twentieth-century innovations, the Academy "
operates like a pack of wolves … [with] a riveting like-mindedness, laced with spectacular displays of inspired individuality" (The Scotsman). The program will include the ever-popular Mendelssohn Octet.
This performance is supported by Len and Marlene Hadley and the Hancher Partners.
