℗ 2016 Gabriel Kahane, The Knights

The Knights were delighted to have our dear friend and longtime collaborator Gabriel Kahane join us in the summer of 2016 for performances of Crane Palimpsest in Central Park and at Tanglewood. Crane Palimpsest, a meditation on the Brooklyn Bridge, is an orchestral song cycle based on texts written by Kahane and Hart Crane.
