Delightful responses to our new album 
from The New York Times and NPR!
"But I keep returning to Eriks Esenvalds’ dreamily unfolding appeal to the Earth, its text a prayer of the Ute people of the American Southwest: a work of true radiance, fired by the precision and passion of this spectacular group."

– The New York Times

"Rising w/The Crossing ... displays the group's signature precision and versatility across a wide range of mainly contemporary music ... It's an album that unites voices in a time of solitude, that offers hope for a better 2021."
