Christopher Dylan Herbert, baritone and Carl Patrick Bolleia, piano

Heralded by Rolling Stone as “a stunning portrait of a singular moment in America", WP music faculty Christopher Dylan Herbert and Carl Patrick Bolleia present Gabriel Kahane's gripping collection of songs entitled Book of Travelers. Based on the composer's conversations with dozens of strangers during an 8,980-mile Amtrak journey embarked on the morning after the 2016 presidential election, Kahane writes, "...these songs are intended as a kind of loose diary of that journey, and as a portrait of America at a time of profound national turbulence."
