Magnificent Bird & Book of Travelers
An evening of stories, music, and food
Part of Hancher Up Close
Part of Hancher's 53rd season
The confines of “singer-songwriter” are too limiting to hold this artist and his searching work.
Hancher’s composer-in-residence revisits two of his exceptional song cycles in a single day—an opportunity to immerse yourself in Kahane’s lyrically beautiful work and affecting vocals. After the first cycle, Magnificent Bird, the audience will convene in Hancher’s Stanley Café for a community meal inspired by the classic Amtrak diner car meals of the mid-20th century. After dinner, the audience will return to the stage to hear Kahane’s second collection, Book of Travelers.
Magnificent Bird chronicles a year Kahane spent entirely offline and the unexpected turbulence of living quietly. Book of Travelers recounts the strangers Kahane met on a 9,000-mile train journey through America.
Patrons should plan for the full evening with Gabriel Kahane — including Magnificent Bird, a community dinner, and Book of Travelers — to run until approximately 8 p.m.
