Glass House Presents: Dallas as Paradox City Tuesday, October 6, 2026 6:00pm New Canaan Library INFO + REGISTER Join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mark Lamster, author of The Man in the Glass House: Philip Johnson, Architect of the Modern Century (2018), for a presentation on his new book Welcome to Paradox City. Blending architectural history, social history, and critical writing, Lamster takes readers to the sun-scorched origins of Dallas as a remote outpost on the Texas frontier, then traces the city’s development into the dynamic, if imperfect, metropolis we know today. Welcome to Paradox City is an illuminating, illustrated look at the often-invisible ways that architecture shapes a city and its culture from its founding, to the present, and onward into the future. 

Glass House Presents: Places Change People Wednesday, November 11, 2026 6:00pm New Canaan Library INFO Old places have deep meaning. Attempts to change treasured old places, such as the White House and the view from Arlington Cemetery to the Lincoln Memorial, can spur people to action. At New Canaan Library, Tom Mayes, the author of Why Old Places Matter and the former Chief Legal Officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, will share insights about the deep meaning of old places, from his work establishing The Glass House as a National Trust Historic Site to the legal battles over the civic architecture of Washington DC, all through the lens that places have the power to change people.

Glass House Presents - Adam Tendler: Piano Works Saturday, November 21, 2026 4:00pm St. Mark’s Episcopal Church INFO + TICKETS Join acclaimed pianist Adam Tendler for an hour-long concert in New Canaan’s modernist St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, designed by Sherwood, Mills and Smith and completed in 1961. Tendler will perform selections from his GRAMMY®-nominated project, Inheritances alongside other works. After his father’s unexpected death, Tendler received his inheritance as a literal wad of cash in a parking lot—an encounter that became the catalyst for a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind contemporary music phenomenon that has touched listeners from across the globe. Inviting a wide-ranging group of composers and sound artists, including Devonté Hynes, Laurie Anderson, Missy Mazzoli, and Nico Muhly, among others, Tendler asked each to respond to the idea of “inheritance,” resulting in a deeply personal yet universally resonant body of piano works that explore lineage, memory, loss, and place, and form a meditation on how we confront the past while shaping the future. Inheritances earned a 2026 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Classical Instrumental Solo and has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS Sunday Morning, among publications and broadcasts worldwide.
