Over 140 works have been written for the multi-Grammy-winning choral ensemble The Crossing, says founder Donald Nally. At 7:30 pm on Wednesday, April 5 in the Dalton Center Recital Hall at Western Michigan University, he will lead the group in a program featuring six of them, including Carols after a Plague by Detroit-based composer Shara Nova.

Nally talks about the singers, the founding of the group, and his philosophy of approaching hard work with a light touch.

Members of The Crossing are working intensively with WMU students during their residency on campus, says Dr. Kim Adams, director of choral activities. The concert will include a collaboration with the students in the University Chorale.
