Born in 1942 in New York City, Allan Crossman has had the great pleasure of collaborating with many notable chamber musicians, orchestras, vocalists, actors, directors, playwrights, dancers, librettists, and poets on both the concert and theater stage. His compositions include many commissions and have received special awards and commentary. He was born into an artistic family in New York City in 1942 and worked with George Rochberg, George Crumb, Hugo Weisgall at the University of Pennsylvania, and principal piano studies with Irwin Gelber. This is a group of his finest works, composed over a period of many years.
