Gabriel Kahane with Rob Moose

**Late show - doors at 9pm, show at 9:30**

Born in Los Angeles in 1981, composer and performer Gabriel Kahane is
a peerless musical polymath, invested equally in the worlds of
concert, theater and popular music.

Launched by his 2006 song cycle Craigslistlieder - heard frequently in
august concert halls and dirty bars alike - Kahane's rapid ascent as a
composer of concert works comes into focus in the 2010 - 2011 season.
As a performer, Kahane moves with ease between musical worlds. His
self-titled debut album, featuring performances by Sam Amidon, Sufjan
Stevens and Chris Thile, was released in 2008 and will be followed up
by a second LP in the fall of 2010. Among his various credits as a
performer, he has appeared with Rufus Wainwright on Elvis Costello's
Spectacle, sung lieder with pianists Jonathan Biss and Jeremy Denk,
and has, as a pianist, joined bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff in
recital throughout Europe. The spring of 2010 finds Kahane on a tour
of his own music with multi-instrumentalist Rob Moose, following his
solo debut at Lincoln Center for the American Songbook series in March
of this year.

A 2010 MacDowell Colony fellow and 2009 composer-in-residence at the
Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival., Kahane makes his home in
Brooklyn, New York, in close company with a century-old piano and many
books.
