"The Crossing" is a Grammy-winning professional chamber choir, conducted by Donald Nally and based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, renowned for its distinctive focus on new music and commitment to commissioning and performing contemporary choral compositions. Taking musical innovation to heart, they often explore and expand the boundaries of choral works, both in sound and in thematic content. Since their founding in 2005, they have cultivated a vast and impressive repertoire, collaborating with some of the most inventive composers of our time.

Over the years, The Crossing has consistently displayed an unwavering dedication to addressing current social, environmental, and existential themes through their carefully curated performances—serving as a conduit for reflection and conversation. Their recent works, reflected in releases such as "David Shapiro: Sumptuous Planet (A Secular Mass)" and "Shara Nova: Titration," showcase the group's explorations into secular and sacred spaces alike. Other pieces that catch attention include "Spectral Spirits: No. 2, Carolina Parakeet," depicting endangered species through hauntingly beautiful compositions, and "A Native Hill," designed around the pastoral reflections of writer Wendell Berry. Through each poignant composition and performance, The Crossing continues to chart a course in the choral field that is as compelling as it is culturally resonant.
