Rising w/ The Crossing
Physical CD Release!
Hold it in your hand!

It's a new year, and our latest album is now available in physical form, full of great 'pandemic-time' art from our illustrator and tenor Steven Bradshaw (with Nyahzul C. Blanco), as well as notes and texts. Do we need a hard copy in these days of streaming? No. Is their value in holding it, reading it, putting it in our historic CD collection as a reminder of The Crossing's unexpected season of responses to our time (Howl: 2020-2021 re-imagined)? We think so. And we're happy (and not just a little humbled) that this collection of archival recordings has inspired such amazing journalistic response, including The New York Times' 25 Best Classical Music Tracks of 2020 and NPR's Best Classical Albums of a Troubled 2020.
Order it at the link above, and while you're at it, consider adding our other two pandemic-time albums, Carthage (music of James Primosch) and Anonymous Man (Michael Gordon's magnum opus). 

Then order some for your friends!

May 2021 be a better year for us all; one in which we, sometime soon, are able to once again make live recordings that may at some point become another compendium of "remembering."

Be well. Be safe. 
Come. Hear. Now.
Rising w/ The Crossing collects 12 live concert recordings from The Crossing's archives, which were featured in our pandemic-inspired project of the same name. Included are collaborations with International Contemporary Ensemble and rare recordings of The Crossing singing early music from Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri with Quicksilver Baroque, alongside newly released recordings by Ted Hearne, David Lang, Eriks Esenvalds, Santa Ratniece, Paul Fowler, and Joby Talbot.

The first 60 chapters of Rising w/ The Crossing ran from March to June. The series gained national attention and was featured in Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Washington Post, and Performance Today; it has been archived by The Library of Congress as a cultural artifact as an "important part of this collection and the historical record."
