Part of HANCHER’S 2026–2027 SEASON
Presented by HANCHER AUDITORIUM in collaboration with UNIVERSITY OF IOWA STRING QUARTET RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Hancher Auditorium and the Iowa String Quartet Residency Program present Owls for an intimate hour-long concert at Bird Hall at the University of Iowa Museum of Natural History. This event is free and open to the public with limited seating capacity.

Owls is an inverted string quartet featuring violinist Alexi Kenney, violist Ayane Kozasa, cellist Gabriel Cabezas and cellist-composer (and Hancher composer-in-residence) Paul Wiancko.
