| About The
Crossing |
 |
| So called because of its proximity to the
crossroads at the town centre of Worksop, Nottinghamshire, 'The
Crossing' is properly titled 'The Crossing Church &
Centre' |
| Opened in May 2006 by an ecumenical partnership of the
adjacent town centre Methodist and United Reformed Churches, the building has
added immeasurably to the town centre, being a modern, architecturally 'wow
factor' modern facility which simultaneously serves the Christian church and
the local community. Its flexible-space sanctuary and halls may at various
times host a church service, a community lunch club, an induction day for a
local organisation, a volunteer sector Open Day, a land reclamation public
consultation day or a classical concert of high quality such as Cantamus shown
opposite. |
| Performance
Acoustics |
| The concert hall is made up of three sections separated by
moveable partitions and it is when all are opened that the 350 seat capacity is
revealed and the superb sound associated with the 1.4 second reverberation time
emerges whether it results from a choir, an orchestra, a Championship brass
band, an instrumental or vocal soloist. Considerable attention was paid at the
design stage to ensure that the walls and high ceilings produced the desired
acoustic. |
| In-House
Instruments |
The Crossing offers a recital standard 3-manual draw stop Makin
Westmorland organ, brought to life by superb recitalists from Westminster
Abbey, Leeds Town Hall, Bath Abbey, Southwell Minster and more.
We offer a full keyboard Technics piano
and until finance has been raised to purchase a concert grand we hire a
Steinway Model B concert grand in, whose hire charge has to be recovered by The
Crossing. |
| Other benefits of The
Crossing |
For the performer we offer ample changing and holding
facilities and The Crossing Café can provide teatime food of a high
standard. Recitalists and choristers comment regularly on what a pleasure it is
to perform in The Crossing.
For the audience there is comfort, space and modern
facilities. In short, The Crossing provides the ambience in which to really
enjoy an excellent concert…… |
