The Poetry of Places is a program of newly-written works inspired by architecture. These are piano and toy piano works (with singing), with electronics and multimedia (video) featuring composers Amy Beth Kirsten, Hannah Lash, Pamela Madsen, James Matheson, Harold Meltzer, Lewis Spratlan, and Jack Van Zandt.

These newly-written compositions are inspired by diverse buildings: American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Aaron Copland’s House, Montserrat Monastery in Spain, House on Island in Pine Plains, NY, Frank Gehry’s IAC Building in Manhattan, Louis Kahn’s National Assembly Buildings in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Newgrange Ancient Temple in Ireland.
