Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Tickets

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry is the multi-faceted musical project led by Paul Richards, a renowned composer and professor of composition at the University of Florida since 1999. Blending contemporary classical language with chamber music textures and operatic crossover elements, Richards has built a standout body of work that resonates with listeners across traditional concert settings and crossover venues. The Crossing Brooklyn Ferry project continues to push boundaries, engaging audiences with thoughtful storytelling, innovative textures, and live premieres across the world.

Based in Gainesville, Florida, Richards draws on deep training in contemporary composition while staying connected to a broad spectrum of performers and listeners. His work often explores intimate sonic landscapes, dramatic character, and the interplay between voice and instrument, making Crossing Brooklyn Ferry a dynamic force in modern classical music.

For fans and newcomers alike, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry offers a friendly entry into contemporary music—like having a trusted friend in the industry who can guide you to compelling performances and new releases.
