The Crossing @ Christmas 2024 Chestnut Hill, PA
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?”

take nothing for the journey
take nothing for the road
take nothing for the way
take nothing for your journey
take nothing with you for the trip †

The Crossing - WHAT CAN I KNOW?
The world premiere of Sebastian Currier’s Mysterium, in which words of physicist Robbert Dijkgraaf and novelist Pia de Jong are in juxtaposition, questioning life – spans, purpose, brevity. A backdrop of the great mysteries of the universe in Dijkgraaf, and of our everyday lives in de Jong. A photo reminds us of a distant, cherished memory, as the vast distances of the universe, its stars and beings, inspire awe.
With Linda Catlin Smith’s Folio in its North America premiere, a mediation on Emily Dickinson’s often profound fragments.
With night blue ink
I write a poem
about our love,
you and me,
now and then. †
† Emily Dickinson, heard in the N. American premiere
of Linda Catlin Smith’s Folio

The Crossing - Can We Know the Sound of Forgiveness?
Does an Earth (that does not know its name) have the will to survive us, heal us, forgive us? It is a question of life and Gabriela Ortiz dives in with characteristic driving rhythmic energy and the shadows of dance. Celebration and Lamentation joined together in a multi-media evening of theatre and dance.
Art of James Drake, dancers of the Alvin Ailey School
Produced and presented by Steven Jimenez
The atoms that make up our bodies were forged in violent explosions of distant stars, spreading debris throughout the universe. †
† Robbert Dijkgraaf, heard in the world premiere

Chicago a cappella - Lamentations
Exploring the universal theme of yearning for a place to call home, “Lamentations” features an evocative collaboration with Ballet 5:8, bringing contemporary movement to Thomas Tallis’ Lamentations of Jeremiah.
The Crossing on the Road: What Belongs to Me?
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. †
