Music for our times, what can we say?

Music by:
Claude Debussy
Whitney George
Elie Kallab
Kino Lee
Mojgan Misaghi
Nicole Piunno

A service with words, song and silence as we remember those lives lost in Palestine, and around the world in war-torn and occupied countries. In this service, we give voice to the Palestinian people as we remember the innocent souls lost to the Israeli occupation and attacks, backed by United States funding. We also hold in our thoughts those suffering in other countries around the world, including all immigrants and vulnerable peoples.

Music by Shireen Abu-Khader, Eli Kallab, Michael Card, Moti Hamer and Eliza Gilkyson.

Immerse yourself in a meditative hour of music from Indigenous Flutists Ceiba ili and Paul Finley, along with the Armenian Duduk, played by Michael Hawes.

Immerse yourself in music of deep lyricism, bold gestures and striking rhythms.

A tale of two Texans, both exiles from their respective and vastly different religious upbringings. Composer Mark Bueller and poet Leah Lax challenge the rules and expectations of their strict religious pasts and the result is a recently premiered Mass in Exile and the world premiere of Requiem in the Light.

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?”

Music bringing families voices and families together for the season. Featuring Michael Hawes, Karen Lawson, Ekaterina Tangarova and the combined St. Thomas More Music Ministry members of the choir, instrumentalists and life-teen band.

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

J.S. BACH: MASS IN B MINOR

Bach’s grand mass setting is a compilation of music that the composer wrote at different stages of his life and career. The composite piece has become one of the most beloved of all choral works, showing different styles and facets of the great composer’s creativity and spirituality. It is widely recognized as one of Bach’s most significant musical expressions. The Clarion Choir and The Clarion Orchestra, performing on Baroque instruments, present the Mass in B Minor in the beautiful and clear acoustics of Park Avenue Christian Church.
