The New York Times Just Called Them ‘America’s Most Astonishing Choir’. And Just Sounding Beautiful Doesn’t Interest Them.

“[Here’s what makes] The Crossing one of the country’s most exciting vocal ensembles: an embrace of the new, a social conscience and fearless technique, brought together in a marriage that transcends mere prettiness. A Crossing program is often politically charged — taking on issues like homelessness, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster and corporate personhood — without being didactic. The group is uninterested in, ahem, preaching to the choir, preferring works that are suggestive and ambiguous.” – The New York Times
