Igudesman & Joo
Saturday, October 10, 2009
Laxson Auditorium | 7:30 p.m.
$23 Premium | $18 Adult | $16 Senior | $14 Student/Child
|
 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
