Rising w/ The Crossing
Our 22nd Album – Now Available
on New Focus Recordings


It's here. The holiday, yes. And our new album, bringing some closure to 2020 and, with it, a celebration of how we've responded – through new ways of singing together, new ways of presenting our art, and now, a new collection of favorite live performances from our archives. Back in March we were desperate to be "Rising" every day; now, we're grateful to have had this time of reflection and to listen deeply to our work of the past.

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attention and was featured in Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Washington Post, and Performance Today; it has been archived by The Library of Congress as a cultural artifact as an "important part of this collection and the historical record."
