A winner of the Pulitzer, GRAMMY, Bessie, and Obie Awards, and an Academy Award nominee, NYC-based artist David Lang is one of America's most highly esteemed and in-demand composers. A co-founder of the tremendously influential Bang on a Can collective, Lang's work has been performed at concert halls and theaters around the world, including numerous times at Lincoln Center. In the New York premiere of poor hymnal, a concert-length work written for the multiple GRAMMY Award-winning chamber choir The Crossing, conducted by Donald Nally, Lang wonders "if the hymns of a community that did not want to forget our responsibilities to each other, and that wanted to make our responsibilities to each other the central tenet of our coming together, might be different from the hymns that we are singing now." Like his Pulitzer-winning work, the little match girl passion, poor hymnal tries to get to the core of what a religious experience can be.
