St Martin in the Fields Draws Hancher Crowd in Iowa
Britain's premier string group, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, played at Hancher Auditorium Iowa City to a full main floor. The program opened with Beethoven Quintet Opus 29 and included Dvorak Dumka and Mendelssohn Octet Opus 20, ending with a triumphant finale.
