Description
About This Performance
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.
The second night of PIVOT features folk singer/songwriter/guitarist Haley Heynderickx in an exciting collaboration with the bold brass quartet The Westerlies. Heynderickx’s work draws from a wide array of influences, including her religious Filipino-American upbringing, the folk music of the 1960s and ’70s, jazz radio, and the acoustic guitar styles of Leo Kottke and John Fahey. NPR hails The Westerlies as “skilled interpreters who are also adept improvisers,” while The New York Times describes them as “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk.”
