Third Wednesday: Black Moon Trio

Wednesday, July 16, 2025, 2025

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. Accompanying Rosenstock’s and Christoph’s 2024 book, The Great Lakes: Our Freshwater Treasure, this program features music by living 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.

A limited number of copies of the book will available for sale in the Driehaus Museum Store on the 3rd floor.

About the Performers

Black Moon Trio was founded in 2022 by Parker Nelson, Jeremy Vigil, and Khelsey Zarraga. Black Moon Trio is committed to collaboratively affecting positive change in communities through chamber music. They reimagine the breadth of a horn, violin, and piano trio by showcasing underrepresented voices in their artistic programming and original commissions, inspiring young musicians and non-musicians alike through captivating educational programs, and connecting community members through the arts. By engaging with diverse audiences, youth, and artists of every type, Black Moon Trio works to prove that classical music is for everyone.
