What do the buildings we create say about us? How does a musical interpretation change our perception of a building? Songs About Buildings and Moods uses storytelling and performance to create a unique series exploring the connection between music and architecture. The buildings include Saarinen's masterpiece for TWA, Calatrava's Milwaukee Art Museum and a Black church in Chicago among others.

Milwaukee's Central Library is a monumental structure that transported composer Brian Packham back to his library-filled youth.
