Arts & Culture
The Corridor proves you don’t have to live in a large metropolitan area to indulge in cultural richness. Opportunities abound to access art, music, history and theater.
Hancher Auditorium in Iowa City annually hosts some of the world’s greatest musical and performance icons. Commissioned works by the Joffrey Ballet and other artists have made their national debuts on the Hancher stage. The Cedar Rapids Symphony Orchestra (now Orchestra Iowa) is one of the oldest continuously operating symphonies west of the Mississippi and showcases world-class talent every year. Whether you love rock, jazz, dance, comedy, or polka, you’ll find live music and performances almost every night of the week at venues spread throughout the Corridor.
