Musician, writer, and storyteller Gabriel Kahane returns to Duke with Every Love Song is a Protest , a new solo song cycle exploring the relationship between love and political resistance. Drawing inspiration from figures including Sojourner Truth, Václav Havel, and Martin Luther King Jr., Kahane connects a brief history of nonviolent protest with new songs shaped by a belief in our shared humanity and interconnectedness.
Praised by The New Yorker as “one of the finest, most searching songwriters of the day,” Kahane moves fluidly between folk, classical, theater, and contemporary music. His wide-ranging body of work includes collaborations with Caroline Shaw, Chris Thile, and Sufjan Stevens, as well as performances at venues including Carnegie Hall and Brooklyn Academy of Music.
