Another great season
coming to a close this Sunday!
|
We are back at work on the new season, recording John Luther Adams'
Canticles of the Holy Wind
for Cantaloupe Records (look for it in early 2017), before heading to Mostly Mozart to put the cap on the 2015-16 season with our performance of
Seven Responses
on
August 21
. What an incredible year we've had - and what an incredible community that has shared it! Twenty-six world premieres, two recordings released - two more on the way, collaborations with five spectacular ensembles (ICE, PRISM, Al-Bustan Takht Ensemble, Quicksilver, and the American Composers Orchestra), performances at all sorts of venues - Bryn Mawr College, the Philadelphia Cathedral, St. Mark's Church, our wonderful home - the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill -
and, in New York, the Winter Garden, Trinity Wall Street, and Merkin Hall.
To the entire family of The Crossing, we say - thanks for "The Crossing @ 10." And stay tuned for the 2016-17 announcement!
