Chico Performances presents Igudesman & Joo, Oct. 10

Chico Performances presents an evening of classical comedy with Igudesman & Joo: A Little Nightmare Music, scheduled for Sat., Oct. 10 at 7:30pm in Laxson Auditorium.

What Penn and Teller are to magic, Igudesman & Joo are to music. They’re highly trained classical musicians, but they’re also crazily inspired comics. Playing violin and piano, this marriage of music and humor defies categorization. It’s a performance full of musical virtuosity and zany, outrageous humor. If you thought Victor Borge was a hoot at his piano, you’ll love the loony antics of Igudesman and Joo.

Tickets are $23 Premium, $18 Adult, $16 Senior, $14 Student/Child
Available online or at the University Box Office, 898-6333.
