Crossings. Vermont-born composer Pierre Jalbert was inspired by the migration of people voyaging into new and unfamiliar places and traces Jalbert’s own French-Canadian-American ancestry.
Crossings is built around a folk song from Quebec,
Quand j’ai parti du Canada (When I Left Canada), which is deconstructed, reinterpreted, reassembled, and reordered in inventive and unexpected ways. The program features a complete performance of the work, preceded by an introductory conversation with the composer, and followed by a live Q&A with viewers. Register and view here.

King s College singers. Is it that Christmas never delivers?
Christmas always has a nip of melancholy in the eggnog for me these days. It could be because my children are growing older. It could be because I myself am growing older. For many of us, an air of disillusionment envelops the mistletoe during this season.
Christmas, specifically December 25, has been a day of hope for thousands of years. Celebrations on this day date back to ancient Egypt when the rebirth of the sun was acknowledged.
There was hope, the sun wasn’t going to continue its journey toward the southern horizon. It was reborn and began ascending once again toward halcyon summer.
