Upcoming Lied Center event promos

The legendary Grammy and Academy Award-winning Herbie Hancock will perform a solo concert at the Lied Center celebrating a range of musical styles from his illustrious career. This talented pianist, composer and bandleader has been at the forefront of modern music for more than 40 years. Originally a member of Miles Davis' revolutionary "second great quintet," Hancock collaborated with the illustrious trumpeter on groundbreaking fusion works including In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew. Hancock's eclectic and abundant collaborations and inventive compositions have led him to become a true musical icon.


The year is 1933. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Molly Sloan, her intrepid assistant Timmy Mendez, and a mysterious librarian named Ben Wilcott face the most serious threat Earth has ever known: an impending invasion of sludge monsters from the planet Zygon. This period-sci-fi-horror-suspense-comedy-romance for the whole family is performed in an innovative, multimedia presentation. While three actors, one Foley artist and one keyboardist provide all the voices, sound effects and music, more than 1,250 hand-drawn, full-color, blow-your-mind comic book images are projected on a screen, telling the larger-than-life story.
