San Francisco Performances' PIVOT Festival is driven by a philosophy of innovation, creativity, and artistic excellence that pushes the boundaries of the traditional concert experience.
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, acclaimed pianist Sarah Cahill, the Del Sol Quartet, and members of Sandbox Percussion in Kihlstedt's 26 Little Deaths, inspired by Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies.
