Songs About Buildings and Moods uses storytelling and performance to create a unique series exploring the connection between music and architecture. What do the buildings we create say about us? How does a musical interpretation change our perception of a building?
The series is hosted by Seth Boustead and is currently on select PBS stations around the country.
Built to resemble a complex of 18th century German castles, the historic Pabst brewery in Milwaukee was once the largest brewer in the country and the Richard H. Driehaus Museum was designed as a fireproof sanctuary to keep the world out, and a horde of treasure in.
