Work Overview
The work is an unaccompanied setting of short texts by three Chicago architects: Daniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan and Walter Burley Griffin. Burnham and Sullivan inspired much of Griffin's work including his prize-winning design for the City of Canberra in 1912.
In its first performance in March 2013 for the Centenary of Canberra, each movement of Three Architects preceded the three movements of Symphony No 3 - Century by Andrew Schultz.
