Innovative, Grammy-winning choral group performs in Big Sky
The Warren Miller Performing Arts Center will present two-time Grammy-winners The Crossing as the ensemble returns to Big Sky to develop major new work for film and choir. The performance will take place Wednesday, August 7th at 6pm. Tickets are $19.
This year marks the group’s fifth summer at the Big Sky Choral Initiative and second summer working on Montaña, an epic new work for choir and film. With support from the National Endowment for the Arts, this choral work is an ongoing collaboration between composer Michael Gordon and filmmaker Bill Morrison, and investigates the amazing landscapes of the United States, from their history to their beauty, struggles, and expanses. While in residence at the WMPAC, The Crossing will be expanding presenting the second of four installments of this large new work.
Under the direction of Donald Nally, the 24-member group has garnered two Grammys in the past two years and continues to push the boundaries of vocal music with their innovative new works. Hailed by The New York Times for “their radiant sound and the vibrancy of the repertory they’ve cultivated,” they are the most highly sought after modern vocal ensemble and have performed at globally acclaimed venues, such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Lincoln Center in New York, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They will be returning to Big Sky annually to continue creating and leading the future of modern music.
