The Crossing with Donald Nally, Claire Chase
The Crossing by Charles Grove, Claire Chase by Walter Wlodarczyk

Four-time Grammy winners for Best Choral Performance, The Crossing has been called “America’s most astonishing choir” (The New York Times). In this concert, the group’s “amazing, immaculate sound, both ethereally light and almost tangibly present” is used to stunning effect in Wang Lu’s At Which Point, an arresting and delicate setting of Forrest Gander’s Pulitzer-winning grief poems. In the New York premiere of Singsong, visionary composer Tania León sets to music the hard-edged “cricket poems” of US Poet Laureate (and fellow Pulitzer winner) Rita Dove, creating a rhythmically charged dialogue between the choir’s kaleidoscopic colors and the virtuosic flute inventions of MacArthur Fellow Claire Chase. Infinite Body—by The Crossing’s first-ever resident composer, Ayanna Woods—probes a series of difficult questions and arrives at a shockingly joyful conclusion.
