First Steps of a New Season
Cultivate / Curate
The Crossing is back,
gathered together and rehearsing
for our season-opening concert,
featuring a world premiere of George Lewis
on a poem of Mei-mei Berssenbrugge.

Apparently everyone is ready to be back ...
both concerts next weekend have sold out (wow!)

But there's much more news to share.

Musical America reviews our latest album,
Born: music of Edie Hill and Michael Gilbertson 

"The Crossing and conductor Donald Nally are one of the most fruitful commissioners of new choral music around. Not only can they boast an exceptional hit rate when it comes to producing new work, you can image other choral outfits queuing up to perform the score. The latest disc, Born, ... teems with ideas as well as being simply beautiful music."
