Acclaimed singer-songwriter and composer Gabriel Kahane joins the internationally renowned Elora Singers for a concert that blurs the boundaries between classical, folk, and contemporary song.

Over the last fifteen years, Gabriel Kahane has established a diverse career that has brought him from rock clubs and concert halls to off-Broadway theaters and beyond, where he is known for tackling politically thorny subject matter with grace and complexity. His wide-ranging discography includes five albums as a singer-songwriter, several orchestral projects, a disc of chamber music, as well as various other collaborative albums.

We are very excited to welcome Gabriel to the Festival stage this summer!
