The opening program of The Crossing’s 2026–2027 season, “Sometimes I Worry,” will take place on Oct. 25, at The Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill.

The four-time Grammy Award-winning chamber choir, conducted by Donald Nally, will launch its new season with a program that brings together music about memory, nature, fragility, and transformation.

The program will center on the East Coast premiere of Nicholas Cline’s “The Sea Came Up and Drowned,” a sweeping work by the North Carolina-based composer. It will also feature a reprise performance of Joshua Stamper’s “’mid the steep sky’s commotion,” originally premiered by The Crossing in 2017.

Per an official press release, Donald Nally said, “Obviously there’s a bit of irony in our season title; some of us are worrying all the time. But at The Crossing we feel that, if we admit the anxiety—if we sing through it, touring, recording, listening, breathing, hoping—maybe we can change it.”
