En el invierno de 1930, llegan al barrio rural de Las Casetas Joaquina y su marido, un clarinetista de la banda de Zaragoza, sastre de profesión, llamado Mariano. Ha sido contratado para hacerse cargo de la exigua banda municipal de esa localidad de gente trabajadora, mayormente agricultores sin formación. Enseguida conoce a los que han de ser los miembros de su banda: campesinos con los dedos deformes y las uñas negras sin ningún sentido musical. Pero nadie parece querer ponerselo fácil, ni siquiera funciona la pequeña sastrería que abre y es Joaquina la que debe trabajar en un horno de pan y vendiendo bocadillos en la estación para sacarlos adelante. Sin embargo, poco a poco, Mariano conseguirá ganarse la confianza de esa gente ruda y él mismo aprenderá a confiar en ellos. Firme creyente en las ideas progresistas de modernizar el país a través de la educación y la cultura, realmente conseguirá, a través de su pasión por la música, mejorar las vida de estas personas. Frente a sus logros, emerge sin embargo una curandera a la que llaman "la bruja", empeñada en expulsar a Mariano y su esposa de la comunidad. Y entre ambos se establecerá un pulso entre razón y magia, rechazo y deseo, mientras la amenaza de la guerra avanza inexorablemente. Música en la oscuridad nos trae de vuelta al mejor Antonio Iturbe, a un excepcional contador de historias que, como ya demostró en La bibliotecaria de Auschwitz, tiene un don especial para rescatar del olvido un episodio real poco conocido de nuestro pasado reciente y escribir una novela conmovedora de superación en tiempos de guerra.
