The Crossing @ Boston Symphony

At the invitation of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, we travel from one birthplace of American Democracy to another to sing a new, abridged version of David Lang’s poor hymnal, a work that has quickly become our most performed commission. Its resonance, its relevance, seem to increase daily. We sing it in the hope that, someday, it won’t be necessary. 

Come. Rest. Other. Observe. Here We Are. 

poor hymnal opens these BSO concerts, followed by the East Coast premiere of Carlos Simon’s Good News Mass, a celebratory homage to Black joy, spiritual discovery, and the power of faith. 

poor hymnal was commissioned for The Crossing and Donald Nally by Elizabeth and Justus Schlichting, Jill and Loren Bough, and Peggy and Mark Curchack. 

The Crossing will sing the original version of poor hymnal at Peace Center Concert Hall in Greenville, SC on Thursday March 26 at 8 pm.

The Crossing @ Stanford

The Crossing @ Stanford University
Harold Meltzer’s You Are Who I Love (2024, reprise)
w/ Sandbox Percussion
w/ works of Ēriks Ešenvalds and Sarah Rimkus

Wednesday, February 25 @ 7:30pm

Bing Concert Hall, Stanford University

INFO & TICKETS

Harold Meltzer’s collaboration with poet (and Stanford faculty) Aracelis Girmay, You Are Who I Love, produced one of his largest and most thoughtful works. With the four percussionists of Sandbox playing over 100 instruments, the work floats with ease from humor to defiance, intimacy to insistence. Harold, who died in August 2024, left us a lasting gift to remind us of the value of hearing the unheard, seeing the unseen, and living a day, an hour, or just a moment in the life of another. 

Books. Rice. Tomatoes. Crossing the Desert. 

The performance of You Are Who I Love was made possible through generous gifts from a wide circle of friends to the Harold Meltzer Memorial Recording Fund. 

You Are Who I Love was commissioned for The Crossing and Donald Nally by Elizabeth and Justus Schlichting.

The Crossing: Declare the Causes

Declare the causes

Infinite Body
a reprise of our 2023 concert of commissioned premieres
Tania León’s Singsong
w/ Claire Chase, flutes
w/ Wang Lu’s At Which Point and Ayanna Woods’ Infinite Body

Saturday, March 21 @ 5pm

Derry Presbyterian Church | Hershey, PA

Tickets will be available soon via Derry Presbyterian Church.

The return of Claire Chase and the tsunami of energy that comes with her, as we revisit Rita Dove’s hard-edged, raw “cricket poems” in Tania León’s endlessly inventive Singsong, which dances its way through a journey of Black singers from pre-slavery to today. Wang Lu’s At Which Point boldly explores the fragility and emptiness of grief found in poet Forrest Gander’s world of those “left behind.” Finally, Ayanna Woods’ Infinite Body, a co-commission of Carnegie Hall and The Crossing, explores how capitalism influences our relationship to our bodies, peering through the lenses of the natural world, burnout culture, and embodiment, to observe and unsettle the notion of our separateness. 

Resilience. Endurance. Unexpected Joy.

David Lang’s poor hymnal

Thursday, March 26 @ 8pm

Peace Center Concert Hall | Greenville, SC

Tickets will be available soon via Peace Center Concert Hall.

Like his Pulitzer-winning work the little match girl passion, David Lang’s poor hymnal tries to get to the core of what a religious experience can be. “What I love about hymnals,” the composer writes in his liner notes to the CD, “is that they’re a catalog of things a community of worshippers can agree on — a catalog that can be sung. And what the worshippers are singing about matters.”

poor hymnal is a concert-length work written for The Crossing, conducted by Donald Nally. Lang constructed the text by stitching together lines, phrases and poignant utterances from sources as varied as the Old Testament, Mahatma Gandhi and Tolstoy — to name just a few. As Lang explains: “This piece is trying to say: The reason we are coming together is to remember how important we are to each other, and to remember how important it is that we take care of each other.”

The Crossing, What Remains When We Are Gone

The Crossing shares David Lang’s Poor Hymnal

from the Crossing

Why do some works demand we revisit them? 
The question is a larger one about how works become canonical – how they enter the culture and stay there. 
So, we offer a rare reprise of a work that, at its premiere, was already beloved by singers, and listeners. 

The question in David’s thoughtful, moving, inspiring work?
“How do we treat each other?”

The Crossing, What Belongs To Me

The Crossing visits Chapel Hill with a program of music by Ayanna Woods, David Lang, Shara Nova and Gabriela Ortiz.

The Crossing will be in residence at UNC Chapel Hill – workshopping with Annie-B Parson and David Lang while preparing our concert there.

A season of questions, launched in a concert asking how we relate to the Earth, to our bodies through the lens of capitalism, to our histories and myths, to our bodies through the lens of our fears and tensions, to each other. 

Music of Ayanna Woods, David Lang, Shara Nova, and Gabriela Ortiz who find surprisingly optimistic angles in the corners of our questions. 

Through our eyes, the universe sees itself.
We write its history, line by line, star by star, you and me. †

† Robbert Dijkgraaf, heard in the world premiere 
of Sebastian Currier’s Mysterium, Feb 7.
