Poetry to Music Though two completely different art forms, poetry and music are similar in myriad ways. Both involve rhythm, flow, expression, and emotions and require an understanding of form in order to create. For the fifth iteration of Poetry to Music, sponsored by the Cantabile Chapter of the Spokane Symphony Associates, students from Eastern Washington University studying under professor Jonathan Middleton explore the relationship between music and poetry by composing works based on poems. At the concert, attendees hear the stories behind the compositions from the student composers themselves and see how the worlds of poetry and music collide to create beautiful movements that inspire a new generation of composers and musicians.
