The morning after the 2016 presidential election, composer, pianist and singer Gabriel Kahane packed a suitcase and boarded Amtrak’s Lake Shore Limited bound for Chicago. Over the next thirteen days, he talked to dozens of strangers in dining cars aboard the six trains that would carry him some 8,980 miles around the country. The songs in Book of Travelers are a diary of that journey, and a portrait of America at a time of profound national turbulence.

Kahane will be accompanied by the chamber group Frequency, which includes Michael Jinsoo Lim (violinist and artistic director), Melia Watras (violist), Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir (cellist) and guest violinist Jennifer Caine Provine; plus Ted Poor on drums.

“[A] stunning portrait of a singular moment in America.” — Rolling Stone
