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.
The Emil Bach house by Frank Lloyd Wright is a gem on Chicago’s north side and a perfect example of his signature Prarie style architecture. Milwaukee’s City Hall has been a civic icon since it opened in 1895. It’s striking Flemish Renaissance style is an homage to the German immigrants who helped build Milwaukee.
