Winner of 14 GRAMMY Awards, a UNESCO Ambassador, a Kennedy Center Honoree, and a 2025 Polar Music Prize recipient, pianist Herbie Hancock remains where he has always been: at the forefront of world culture, technology, business, and music. Now in the seventh decade of his professional life, Hancock continues to redirect the trajectory of music and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

Join us in welcoming Herbie Hancock back to Krannert Center for the first time since 2005 as he kicks off his North American Fall Tour.
