This is the program that Timo & I are doing this week and next. We’ll be in Ft. Worth, Denver, St. Paul, New York, and Chapel Hill. Come say hi! And we made a limited edition CD called ‘Dream Job’ that you can pre-order here. 

Tickets for my joint gig with Timo Andres at Carnegie Hall on April 7, 2016 are on sale today, and they are moving quickly.

From Carnegie’s web site:

This concert gives two friends the chance to throw caution to the wind in a free associative program that brings together four centuries’ worth of music, from J. S. Bach to world premieres written by Gabriel Kahane and Timo Andres for one another. At the center of the program is a call-and-response between the two composer-performers, juxtaposing solo piano music with songs for piano and voice that range from Schubert, Schumann, and Thomas Adès, to Jerome Kern and Andrew Norman. Framing this quasi-live mix tape are sets of Britten folk song settings and Ives songs, each nested in the lapidary elegance of Kurtág’s transcriptions of Bach chorale preludes.

• Timo Andres, Piano
• Gabriel Kahane, Piano and Vocals

Y'all Ann Arbor folks! I’m coming your way with yMusic and band for two shows on 1/17-18 at the Arthur Miller Theater at University of Michigan. The theater is pretty small, so I encourage you to get your tickets NOW! We promise: songs from Where are the Arms, February House, an opening set from yMusic, and the possibility of solo piano karaoke by me (to include songs by Chris Thile, Andrew Norman, Ryan Adams, Cee-Lo Green, Robert Schumann, Charles Ives and Jerome Kern, among others.)
