Skyscrapers of Jeanne Gang (2022) is a new work for horn and piano inspired by Chicago-based architect Jeanne Gang who holds industry records for hight, innovation, and resourcefulness in her building designs. Composer Benjamin Gessel wrote this work in three movements with titles: "I. Strength and Stature," "II. Purpose and Beauty," and "III: Resilience." Hornist Stacey Eliason, who commissioned the work, was inspired primarily by Chicago's Aqua Tower and St. Regis (AKA Vista Tower), along with the strides Jeanne Gang has made for pay equity in the field of architecture.
