Celebrating one of our region's and the world’s most precious natural resources, Black Moon Trio collaborates with author Barb Rosenstock; illustrator, Jamey Christoph; and the DuPage Children's Museum to tell the story of the Great Lakes.

 

Framing and accompanying Rosenstock’s and Christoph’s 2024 book, The Great Lakes: Our Freshwater Treasure, this program features music by living composers that 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, offering a deeper appreciation of the role these five blue jewels play in sustaining life and culture.
