considering the displaced
  • new works of Michael Gordon, Gregory Brown, Dai Fujikura, Aaron Helgeson, Stratis Minakakis, Lansing McLoskey, and Joshua Stamper
  • John Luther Adams' Canticles of the Holy Wind at The Met, The Barnes, and Symphony Space NYC
  • Sound from the Bench: political appropriations by Ted Hearne at The Fringe, Boston's Gardner Museum, and National Sawdust NYC
  • and the Philadelphia premiere of Kevin Puts' To Touch the Sky in a first collaboration with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
The Crossing's 2016-17 Season explores various kinds of displacement and homelessness - our aloneness, the physical relocation of millions, the people living on the street in our neighborhood. Always thoughtful, often sorrowful, and at other times joyful; new works that ask questions for which there may be no answers. Timely topics, creative poets, widely varied composing styles, virtuosic singers: a new season of new works.
