About this concert
For the ninth year of PIVOT, guest curator Gabriel Kahane and friends dig deep into music that asks enduring and enlightening questions about our ever-changing world and seeks the uplift of answers rooted in shared experience. Gabriel Kahane is a musician and storyteller whose work exists at the intersection of art and social practice, and “his music is suffused with idiosyncratic, enriched tonal harmony…he is one of the finest, most searching songwriters of the day” (The New Yorker). “We’re living in a golden age of string quartets…It’s hard to disagree when you hear the vibrant young players in New York’s Attacca Quartet” (NPR). Grammy-winning vocal band Roomful of Teeth can seemingly make anything cool, “From death metal to throat singing to alpine yodeling, the experimental group is changing what it means to harmonize” (The New Yorker).

Roomful of Teeth Biography
We are a Grammy® winning vocal band dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice. By engaging collaboratively with artists, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world, we seek to uplift and amplify voices old and new while creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music.
Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, our band was incubated at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) in North Adams, Massachusetts, where we studied with some of the world’s top performers and teachers and commissioned composers who were known for breaking molds. We have learned that the boundaries of the human voice are never what they seem, that rules can be bent, and broken, and perhaps they should be.
As the world rapidly changes we are cultivating deeper relationships with technology, continuing to expand the capabilities of the human voice, aiming to be unburdened by our own physical limitations. We are excited about new collaborative projects that are focused on the stories of place, home, and community in the diverse environments our planet has provided.
We explore these boundaries with passionate curiosity, contagious enthusiasm, and deep gratitude.
