San Francisco Performances - Pivot Festival

Composer/singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane returns as guest curator once again for the tenth season of PIVOT. Kahane’s work exists at the intersection of art and social practice, and he is one of the most thoughtful—and thought-provoking—artists of his generation. He will perform opening night and host all three evenings of deliciously ingenious music brimming with thought, humor—both dark and light—and substance.

Composer, collaborator, violinist, singer, improviser, educator, and instigator Carla Kihlstedt explores complex worlds—the ocean, dreams, imaginary creatures, the machine age—through many different lenses. Kahane will lead her and the Del Sol Quartet in Kihlstedt’s 26 Little Deaths, inspired by Edward Gorey’s work.
