Skylark’s dramatic performances have been described as “gripping” (The Times of London) and “awe-inspiring” (Boston Music Intelligencer). Watch this video to see and hear Skylark.
Since its founding in 2011 in Atlanta and Boston, Skylark has branched out to perform its dynamic programs in museums, concert halls, and churches across the United States. Skylark made its international debut in March 2018 at St. John’s Smith Square, London, as part of the UK choir Tenebrae’s Holy Week Festival.
Artistic Director Matthew Guard is earning a reputation as one of the most innovative and thoughtful programmers in American choral music.
