One-of-a-kind performance combines chamber music, physical theatre, fashion, video and fairy tales

The Carthage Chamber Music Series presents the final concert of the 2010-11 season on Saturday, April 30. Fifth House Ensemble will perform "The Weaver's Tale: of debt and the maidens," a one-of-a-kind performance combining chamber music, physical theatre, fashion, video and classic Grimm's Fairy Tales.

The concert will be held at 3 p.m. April 30 in A. F. Siebert Chapel.

The Chicago-based Fifth House Ensemble is a versatile and dynamic group praised by the New York Times for its "conviction, authority and finesse." The group's innovative programs highlight relationships between classical music and art forms as diverse as film, dance, gourmet food, theater, winemaking and visual art, as well as creating new sounds through collaborations with artists of other music genres.

Having established itself as a regular on the Chicago chamber music scene, Fifth House has performed on some of the city's most well-regarded series and venues including the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts, Mostly Music Series, Waukegan Chamber Music Society, Pritzker Pavilion, Byron Colby Barn, PianoForte Chicago, Live from the Morse/WFMT, WFMT Impromptu, Sunday Salon Series at the Chicago Cultural Center and Rush Hour Concerts at St. James.

Fifth House Ensemble is a Chamber Ensemble in Residence at Carthage.
