As the listeners are transported through the hotel via the titular elevator, they encounter a wide array of stories: a woman on her honeymoon in Utah during pandemic lockdown, a man writing a eulogy for a young AIDS victim, and more. The piece is a celebration of the individual voices of Roomful of Teeth—usually heard as a collective—and a showcase for Kahane's artistry as a songwriter and storyteller. To introduce this rich collaboration, the program opens with a solo set by Kahane, followed by Caroline Shaw’s piece for the ensemble based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest, called “The Isle,” commissioned by the Folger Shakespeare Library and first performed in 2016.
