The Crossing will perform the new works in repertory with Buxtehude’s 17th-century work with two leading ensembles in their respective fields of performance: Robert Mealy’s Quicksilver Baroque and Claire Chase’s International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE). This first night of performances will feature Buxtehude’s Cantatas 1-4 (feet, knees, hands, and side) and the responses of David T. Little, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Caroline Shaw, and Hans Thomalla.
