Tickets and information
Join Chicago Folklore Ensemble for a show of stories and music collected from master musicians from Serbia, Ghana, Jordan, Argentina, and Thailand! This show will celebrate the release of an illustrated book featuring the oral histories of master musicians.
From the Serbian mountains of blood and honey to the passionate coasts of Argentina, rattling buses tearing through Thai countryside and back to sweet home Chicago, embark on a journey around the world atop a carpet of music and story. String quartet and storyteller come together to narrate the sights, sounds, and emotions stored in the memories of Chicago immigrant musicians.
The Chicago Folklore Ensemble celebrates Chicago’s immigrant communities and helps to share and pass on their stories and music. The ensemble interviews musicians of many ethnic backgrounds, collects their traditional music and oral histories, and adapts them into dynamic arrangements for string quartet and storyteller.
