Sneak peek: PBS series at Building 50 with music by Interlochen faculty

Composer and producer Seth Boustead is telling the story of Traverse City's Building 50 in a new installment of the independent public television series “Songs About Buildings and Moods."

Boustead tells the story of Building 50 with original music scores by Interlochen Center for the Arts faculty composers Cynthia Van Maanen and Thomas Childs.

Van Maanen and Childs have composed “transformational landscapes” that will be recorded by musicians including current Interlochen students Ava Gilbert (flute) and Joseph Rodriguez (percussion) as well as Interlochen alumni and Viridian Strings co-founders Joseph Skerik (viola) and Kyle Stachnik (cello).

This "Songs About Buildings and Moods" episode about Building 50 will be the first in the series to include dance, featuring a collaboration with Interlochen dance instructor Katie Dorn.

Join IPR in Building 50's Kirkbride Hall on Saturday, May 10 at 7 p.m. to hear the original music, meet Seth Boustead and hear about the process of turning the story of Building 50's history into music and dance.

The event is free, and no tickets are required.

Boustead will also present a finished episode from his series about the Fisher Building in Detroit.
