Farming, a stirring new work by Ted Hearne written for The Crossing, grapples with the impact of settler colonialism on current labor practices from tech to agriculture. Texts are drawn from William Penn and Jeff Bezos, among other sources. Scored for 24 vocalists with guitars, percussion and electronics, Farming, in development for four years, promises to be a major event—immediate and virtuosic, with Ted’s stylistic eclecticism, driving rhythms, and explosive energy ... next to a tended field.
Lying at the center of John Luther Adams' Vespers of the Blessed Earth are the “Litanies of the Sixth Extinction,” a sung list of several hundred endangered and vanished living things—a response to the previous movement, a “Brief Descent into Deep Time,” which reminds us that our species occupies a nearly unnoticeable blip in the awesome, wondrous time/space expansion of which we are a part. Vespers of the Blessed Earth is commissioned by The Philadelphia Orchestra for The Crossing and The Philadelphia Orchestra.
Composer David Lang is a big fan of hymn books. With poor hymnal , Lang explores the hymns of a community and what they may, or may not, reflect.
Following Julia Wolf's truly remarkable Fire in my mouth, written for the New York Philharmonic and the women of The Crossing in 2018, Wolf has been commissioned to write a new work for the orchestra and the men of The Crossing. unEarth addresses human impact on our planet, and was commissioned by The New York Philharmonic for The Crossing and The New York Philharmonic.
The Crossing presents an ambitious new commissioning project featuring premieres from 12 composers new to the group: Leila Adu, Ambrose Akinmusire, Alex Berko, Edith Canat de Chizy, Samantha Fernando, Mary Jane Leach, Shara Nova, Joseph C. Phillips Jr., Nina Shekhar, Tyshawn Sorey, Eric Whitacre, LJ White.
A Native Hill is Gavin Bryars’ most substantial work for unaccompanied choir. A concert-length musical essay based on early writings of American author and activist Wendell Berry; what may at first seem pastoral contains a powerful contemporary relevance — a metaphysical and even political force.
Julia Wolfe's oratorio for 36 women voices and orchestra was commissioned by The New York Philharmonic and premieres in January 2019 with Jaap van Zweden conducting. The immersive and visual work explores the devastating Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911 in New York that killed 146 young immigrant workers.
Are we called today to pacifism or activism? What do we protect, the integrity of capitalism or the health of the community? The program features two works written for The Crossing, Joel Puckett’s dizzying, entrancing I enter the earth and James Primosch's Housekeeping , an exploration of the balancing effect of desire and longing on our lives on words of Marilynne Robinson.
