Event Info: 

  Fifth House presents a program of mostly contemporary music including the charming concertino of Erwin Schulhoff, an under-performed Czech composer of the early 20th century. Continuing through repertoire that features double bass, the ensemble will perform Martin Butler’s (b. 1960) American Rounds in its Chicago premiere, a rousing piano quintet featuring violin, viola, cello, and bass.

Schedule Notes: Knocked, by Yale composer Ellis Ludwig-Leone, was written specifically for our ensemble, and includes dance-like percussion rhythms on the strings. Finally, Fifth House will for the first time include one of its signature pieces, George Crumb’s theatrical Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale) on its Chicago concert series. The unconventional sounds and instrumental combinations tie seamlessly with the awkward starts and stops of courtship.
