Praised for a "rich, natural sound that's larger and more complex than the sum of its parts," (National Public Radio) New York Polyphony is regarded as one of the finest vocal chamber ensembles in the world. The four men, "singers of superb musicianship and vocal allure," (The New Yorker) apply a modern touch to repertoire that ranges from austere medieval melodies to cutting-edge contemporary compositions. Their dedication to innovative programming, as well as a focus on rare and rediscovered Renaissance and medieval works, has not only earned New York Polyphony critical acclaim, but also helped to move early music into the classical mainstream.

Commissioning new works has been central to the mission of New York Polyphony since their founding in 2006. Both in performance and on recording, the ensemble has demonstrated a commitment to presenting contemporary compositions that explore the boundaries between ancient and modern music. They have forged relationships with numerous composers, including established artists such as Richard Rodney Bennett, Jonathan Berger and Jackson Hill, emerging talents Bora Yoon and Gregory Brown, and prominent figures such as Gabriel Jackson and Ivan Moody. Most recently, New York Polyphony premiered "Amid a crowd of stars" composed for the ensemble and the Trinity University Chamber Singers by Norwegian composer Andrew Smith.

The ensemble's growing discography includes two GRAMMY®-nominated releases and albums that have topped the "best of" lists of The New Yorker, Gramophone, and BBC Music Magazine. Called a "spacious, radiant retreat" by The New York Times, their current release, Sing thee Nowell, scored New York Polyphony its second GRAMMY® nomination in the Best Chamber Music/ Small Ensemble Performance category.

A Quebec, Canada native, Crociata's forte is cottage and garden stitchery. She has an admiration for any house that appears loved and expresses that admiration through her art. Crociata is an active member of the Knoxville Chapter of The Embroiderers' Guild of America and the "Free the Stitches" free-style interest group. She participated in the "Open Art Show 2014: ALCHEMY - The Magic of Art and Flowers" - hosted by the Farragut Arts Council at the Town Hall - and was awarded first place in the Fiber Category for "Cottages."
