Gabriel Kahane, Composer-in-Residence

About Gabriel Kahane
Writing and performing music that moves effortlessly from dense modernism to vernacular song, Gabriel Kahane has established himself as a leading voice among a generation of young composers redefining music for the 21st century. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times for “an all around dazzling performance” in his orchestral debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic earlier this year, Kahane’s collaborations have included sold-out concerts with artists as varied as Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau, Alisa Weilerstein, and his father—noted pianist and conductor Jeffrey Kahane—as well as Sufjan Stevens, Rufus Wainwright, and Audra McDonald.

The residency of Gabriel Kahane is made possible through Music Alive, a residency program of the League of American Orchestras and Meet The Composer. This national program is designed to provide orchestras with resources and tools to support their presentation of new music to the public and build support for new music within their institutions. Funding for Music Alive is provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and The ASCAP Foundation.
