    The final new work in The Crossing’s Levine Project is by Colorado composer Paul Fowler. Like McLoskey, Fowler’s inspirations are widely and wildly varied, incorporating Buddhist philosophy, jazz, and Native American themes into an exquisite, organic, musical whole. We look back at our 2009 Celan Project with an encore performance of Kile Smith’s amazing Where flames a word (received with great acclaim at its premiere last June), as well a new work on Celan’s poetry, Norwegian composer Frank Havrøy’s intimate, fragile Psalm. Villarosa Sarialdi, by Swedish composer Thomas Jennefelt, demonstrates Jennefelt’s ingenious use of voices as orchestral instruments, inventing a ‘language’ to produce the kaleidoscope of colors he imagines. The choir sings colorful works of Americans Lansing McLoskey and Christopher Trapani, and the season’s opening – Eriks Esenvalds’ Sun Dogs – is bookended with the inventive and profound setting of texts on the same theme: James MacMillan’s Sun Dogs. The Levine Project was funded in part by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Music Project.
