Luna de Cuernos

Fifth House Ensemble

... vibrant, full of expression, humor, and mystery ... a cohesive artistic product and transformative concert experience. --ChicagoMusic.org

Luna de Cuernos is a modern interpretation of a Puerto Rican folktale inspired by the true stories of Chicagoans and told through music for woodwind quintet and stunning illustrations by Sarah Becan. It’s the story of a tight-knit group of friends and family under threat, and the risks they will take to defend the garden that is their community’s source of life. The program features works by Mario Lavista, Miguel del Aguila, Bohuslav Martinu, Alexandre Tansman, and Jörg Widmann.
