Fifth House Ensemble
Black Violet
Friday, March 9, 8:00 p.m.

Tickets: $10 - $5 (students and seniors)
Continuing to pioneer the art of narrative chamber music, this lively young ensemble from Chicago returns to Concordia for the conclusion of their collaboration with graphic novelist Ezra Claytan Daniels, melding classical music, vivid art, imagery, and riveting narrative. The story follows Violet, a young black house cat, who leaves her home facing unimaginable dangers and forging unexpected friendships during one of the most terrifying passages of London’s history, the outbreak of the Black Plague in the 17th century. For those who missed the beginning of the story, a musical and verbal summary will open the concert.
