Celebrating one of our 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. Accompanying Rosenstock’s and Christoph’s 2024 book, The Great Lakes: Our Freshwater Treasure, this program features music by living, American composers to bolster the dramatic journey of a single drop of water in this enormous water system. Along the way, audiences will learn how these incredible lakes were formed, how to preserve the six quadrillion gallons of water they hold, and the cultural and spiritual importance of these five blue jewels.
The Great Lakes also contains vocabulary and supplementary scientific learning goals that will be expanded into interactive moments for youth and adults to workshop in conjunction with the performance.
