The Albert Kahn Sonata is a meditative short film offering an intimate glimpse into Detroit through the architecture of Albert Kahn, a Jewish immigrant whose visionary designs shaped the city’s industrial and cultural identity. Scored by composer Dr. Michael Kropf and performed by Forrest Howell, the film features an original three-part piano sonata inspired by three of Kahn’s most iconic works: the opulent Fisher Building, the historic Belle Isle Aquarium, and the haunting remains of the Packard Plant. Through light, texture, and sound, the film invites viewers to experience Detroit as a living composition—where architecture becomes memory, music, and motion.
