Music ensemble Third Angle will team up with choir group Cappella Romana for a new project, “Frozen,” on Oct. 3-4. They’re giving a voice to one of Oregon’s most famous buildings...the Mount Angel Abbey library in St. Benedict, Oregon [...]
“We’re going down into a stairwell and we started singing, and we found a pitch that really resonated the hell out of the building...We want this to be, in effect, a harmony of the building. We want to reimagine the building as an instrument.”

I'd love to see/hear this. Such a fantastic building... and as the photo shows, something of an aesthetic contrast to its staff's garb. On my visit there, the cutest, tiniest, sweetest old nun you've ever seen--in full habit--was boosted on a couple of phone books on her stool at the front desk so she could see over the counter. Passing by her, I saw modern architecture at its beautiful best.
