Presented by HANCHER AUDITORIUM

Celebrate the season with the gift of New Orleans jazz.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band has been part of Hancher history since the very beginning, and now the ensemble is set to play Santa—delivering a bagful of holiday favorites performed with an energetic and improvisational twist. It might be cold in Iowa City, but the sound of traditional jazz played with contemporary spirit will warm you up just in time for the holidays.
