SHARE THE EVENT

We’re painting a picture with sound under the baton of Guest Conductor and University of Iowa Alum, Fernanda Lastra. Starting out with George Whitefield Chadwick’s Jubilee Overture, who’s accompanying poem begins by loudly stating “No cool gray tones for me!” Then, in homage to Lastra’s Argentinian roots, Luis Gianneo’s Le Tarco en Flor captures the essence of the vibrant purple blooms of the Jacaranda tree. Orchestra Iowa’s own Principal Clarinet, Christine Bellomy, brings the dark emotions and rhythms of Oscar Navarro’s Clarinet Concerto No. 1 to life before we end the program with the ironically happy melodies of Brahms’ Symphony No. 2.

Insights

Insights is an engaging pre-concert chat led by Maestro Hankewich and features special guest artists, too. This lively and informative session offers a behind-the-scenes look at the music, composers, musicians, and stories that shape each performance. It’s a great way to deepen your concert experience—full of fascinating insights, surprising facts, and even a few laughs. Best of all, it’s free with your concert ticket. Seating fills quickly, so be sure to arrive early!

For Saturday concerts at the Paramount Theatre, Insights is held in the Encore Lounge at 6:45pm.
