Superstar Abdullah Ibrahim, a revered jazz pianist for over six decades, performs with his Ekaya Chamber Ensemble to commemorate and reimagine the music of The Jazz Epistles, “South Africa’s greatest bebop band of all time." (NPR).

Join Pittsburgh’s Squonk Opera’s Squonkers as they manipulate gargantuan puppet hands (the size of houses!) to tell a spectacular and comic story. In this rock opera melee, giant thumbs detach to become truly opposable and challenge each other with guitars. Featuring original chamber rock music and an opportunity for audience members to come together to grab rigging, each individual powers a larger movement of giant fingers, a web of connections, a single dance. Hand to Hand encourages shared discovery and making a community of the imagination.
