Our annual Christmas concert, sold-out for the last two years, features Joanna Metcalf’s florid invocations to the Mystic Rose of Dante’s Paradiso – a work of substantial proportions yet intimate textures. The contemplative atmosphere continues with the extraordinary textures of Toivo Tulev and the lush harmonies of Will Todd, Rihards Dubra, and Howard Helvey, as we take a break from the winter bustle and take in The Crossing’s now-classic candlelit holiday respite.
