During the next art season, the people of the United States will make some of its most serious and impactful decisions. 

So, it may seem odd that The Crossing has programmed a season considering how space and time work in our observations of the world around us. Aren't there more immediate issues to discuss...in art?

Maybe.

Or maybe the observation of the other is an ideal place

to be living, thinking, and singing. 

We've chosen to live there. 

A place of singing, not yelling. 

Of truths.

Of seeking truths. 

We call the season Transcendental Idealists. 

That's us! The idealists. 

The Crossing, on another season journey (our 20th!),

evaluating our place in space and time,

loving the odyssey, asking questions in a series of events:

•

a reflection on our histories

and the stresses we inherit (Shara Nova: Sept 6)

•

a lamentation for the earth

as we ask can it forgive us? (Gabriela Ortiz: Oct 16-18)

•

an exploration on capitalism's effect

on our self-view (Ayanna Woods: Nov 15)

•

a meditation on what belongs to us (David Lang: Dec 20-22)   

•

a juxtaposition of the mysteries of deep space

and simply falling in love (Sebastian Currier: Feb 7)

•

a rumination on the last days of Immanuel Kant,

founder of Transcendental Idealism and proposer

of our guiding questions: 1) What can I know?

2) What ought I to do? 3) For what may I hope?

4) What is the human being? (Gavin Bryars: June 14)

Along the way, there is great and virtuosic singing, a considerable amount of humor, fantastic compositions, new sounds, community gatherings, ruminations, explorations, juxtapositions, lamentations, and, especially, reflections. All sung. 

wherever charity is

wherever justice is

wherever kindness is

wherever love is

here we are
