THEATRE + COMEDY

Comedy meets classical music as Aleksey Igudesmand and Hyung-ki Joo make their first appearance at The Grand 1894 Opera House with Igudesman and Joo:  A Little Nightmare Music. Uniquely combining their talent with comedy and popular culture, this dynamic due will present one outstanding performance at 8:00pm on Saturday, February 4th.

Igudesman and Joo met at the age of 12 in England and have remained strong friends and writing partners. In 2004, following in the footsteps of luminaries such as Victor Borge and Dudley Moore, they created their first groundbreaking show, “A Little Nightmare Music”. Since then, they have performed internationally with major symphony orchestras and have played on some of the world’s biggest stages and festivals.

Equally comfortable performing in classical concert halls, as well as in stadiums in front of crowds of 18,000, their unified dream is to make classical music more accessi-ble to a wider and younger audience. To date, their clips on YouTube have gathered over 15 million hits, and they have appeared live on television in several countries.

Numerous artists and celebrities (from pianist Emanuel Ax to actor Sir Roger Moore) have proclaimed them “classical music’s comedy champions!” This show is sure to captivate and entertain ? whether you’re a classical music enthusiast or one "who runs for cover at the mere mention of Mozart."
