Eufórquestra

Home for the Holidays 2025

featuring Big Begonias
Live @ The Englert

Friday, December 19th @ 7:30 PM

Their quest for musical euphoria is an experience in calypso, bluegrass, reggae, samba, Afrobeat, Afro-Cuban and funk that has been shared with fans across the country at various music festivals and venues. A portion of this sound stems from an educational journey two band members took while in Cuba, listening to the music of the Yoruba tribe. The tribe – transplanted due to the slave trade years ago – molded African beats with Cuban rhythms, sprouting inspiration for Euforquestra… Euforquestra will command an adventure of fresh, fun, and danceable tunes direct from the Caribbean and beyond. Disfrute de la música,” (Volume One).

Englert Ball

Saturday, December 20th @ 8 PM

Dan Padley and James Tutson are essential to our Iowa City music community. Through their music, but also through their constant support, mentorship, and collaboration. We are thrilled to be welcoming them onto the Englert stage to celebrate 2025 with us.

Dan Padley is an Iowa City treasure. “If you’ve seen an Iowa City band perform in the past few years, odds are you’ve heard Dan Padley on guitar. Trained in jazz at the University of Iowa, Padley’s specialty is improvisation — creating “mini sonic universes” of sound, whether he’s soloing at a rock concert or twanging it up at a country show,” (Little Village). We expect his take on A Charlie Brown Christmas to kick off the ball with immeasurable holiday spirit and talent.

James Tutson is an invaluable pillar to songwriters in Iowa City. “We’ve heard rootsy soul before; it’s part of the DNA of American music. In Tutson’s case, you can hear the soul music he grew up with: Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder. But along with artists like Allison Russell and Rhiannon Giddons, Tutson is finding a new soul vernacular for this century,'“ (Little Village). This heritage of soul music permeates his vocal stylings and anchors his songwriting even as he crafts his current work telling stories of the modern world and his life journey. He is known for emotive/”raw” vocal performances, tight musical arrangements, and resonant songwriting, which has been described as a “gift for exploring the intersection between joy and sorrow”.

Iowa City Community Band
Live @ The Englert

Sunday, December 21st @ 2:00 PM

“The holiday season is full of traditions and an annual event that the Iowa City Community Band looks forward to is our joint concert with our friends in the Iowa City New Horizons Band… Our December concert is always an enjoyable one to hear and to perform. We play traditional pieces like “The Holly and the Ivy," “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming," and “Here We Come A-Wassailing," while also having a bit of fun with some holiday favorites. Past holiday concerts have included medleys of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “Christmas Festival." Another favorite piece is Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride." Listen for the lucky trumpeter who gets to imitate a horse’s neigh at the end.The band has performed continuously since 1983. Our director, Rob Medd, a retired band director from Iowa City West High School, is in his 18th year of conducting our group. Our band is around 75 members strong from throughout the corridor, ranging in age from high schoolers to retirees,” (Iowa City Press Citizen).
