Caroline Shaw composer, singer
Wigmore Hall, W1U 2BP , [Venue Details]Gabriel Kahane composer, singer, piano; Siglo de Oro
This concert will be approximately 2 hours in duration, including an interval
Collaboration has always been close to Caroline Shaw’s heart, whether as performer or composer. She connects here with pioneering vocal ensemble Siglo de Oro and her fellow composer, singer-songwriter and storyteller Gabriel Kahane.
Hexagons is a new work, co-commissioned by Wigmore Hall, inspired by the magical realism of Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges’s 1939 short story, 'The Library of Babel'. In this enigmatic narrative, Borges conjures a captivating and perplexing universe where the notion of infinity collides with the fragility of human understanding. Randomly arranged books fill the Library of Babel’s infinite expanse of interlocking hexagonal rooms, encompassing all knowledge that currently exists or may exist in the future while paradoxically offering no true enlightenment. Shaw and Kahane invite audiences to contemplate the joy, grief, wonder, and bewilderment that spring from a life oversaturated in information.
