Miller Theatre, NYC

As guests of Miller Theatre in NYC, The Crossing will perform the U.S. Premiere of James Dillon's three-day event, Nine Rivers.

A symphonic cycle of monumental proportions, James Dillon’s Nine Rivers is one of the most talked-about new works of the past few years. Written over several decades—and scored for a formidable assemblage of musicians and multimedia artists—the cycle covers a vast sonic terrain, from hushed a cappella singing to high-octane drumming.

The Crossing performs on days one, in Viriditas, and three in Oceanus.

Miller opens the 2011-12 season with an ambitious, three-night staging of this important work, bringing together members of the original creative team with some of the best new music performers on both coasts.
