On Sunday afternoon, January 4, the virtuoso Philadelphia choir known as The Crossing returns for an intriguing winter concert in the acoustically pristine Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill. (Note: this group is overdue for a New York debut.)
Conductor Donald Nally has uncovered yet another trove of off-the-path repertoire including David Lang's I want to live (2008) and two works by Bo Holten, plus pieces by Erhard Karkoschka, Paul Spicer and John Kennedy. For anyone who admires great choral singing, this 20-voice ensemble is about as good as it gets.

Always delighted to hear of fine choral singing, Bruce!
Cheers,
