RENÉE FLEMING SOPRANO BRADLEY MOORE PIANO VOICE OF NATURE: THE ANTHROPOCENE Thursday, October 24 / 7:30 p.m. Hancher Auditorium / Hadley Stage / Auditorium Seating Presented in collaboration with Creative Matters, a program of the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the lowa Neuroscience Institute Renée 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. "While she may have announced her farewell to the traditional opera canon in 2017 ...the superstar diva-or, as some have christened her, the 'people's diva'-seems as fiendishly busy as ever... And to say Fleming has an ardent following is an understatement. - Classical Voice TICKETS Adults $115/$95 / $65 Students & Youth $10 Order online hancher.uiowa.edu Call (319) 335-1160 or 800-HANCHER HANCHER EVENT PARTNERS Lee & Kazi Alward Barrie Anderson William Dickinson Leonard & Marlene Hadley Albert B. & Jean M.
