About the Performance
A companion to Barb Rosenstock and illustrator Jamey Christoph’s picture book The Great Lakes, Black Moon Trio’s concert is a family-friendly journey through the scientific wonder of our five freshwater jewels, offering an approachable way to gain appreciation for their role in sustaining nature and culture.
Featuring music by contemporary composers Peter Winkler, Adam Scott Neal, and Harry T. Bulow, as well as two Black Moon Trio commissions by Yeeun Sim and Indigo Knecht, the program delves into the science behind the formation of the Great Lakes and the crucial importance of freshwater for life and culture. Along the way, audiences will take a dramatic journey of a single drop of water as it travels in this enormous water system. Audiences of all ages are invited to reflect on the profound importance of this vital resource and the ongoing responsibility to protect the six-quadrillion gallons of water they hold. This special program brings to life the complex relationship between nature, human civilization, and the ecosystems that depend on these precious waters.
