Event Description

This will be an electrifying evening celebrating the music of legendary pianists and composers Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.

Experience them build intricate textures and spin musical threads that evoke a spectrum of emotion - they'll make you dance in your seat with rhythms and grooves that pulse, melodies that soar, and a performance that will exhilarate and captivate you, in an evening that moves and inspires.
