SF Performances: PIVOT Gabriel Kahane, Haley Heynderickx, The Westerlies
SEE EVENT DETAILS
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.
The second night of PIVOT features folk singer/songwriter/guitarist Haley Heynderickx and bold brass quartet The Westerlies in a collaborative program that will showcase new interpretations of Heynderickx's songbook, covers, and new, unreleased material they've created together. 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."
Programs to be announced
