​GRAMMY®-Nominated Skylark is one of the leading vocal ensembles in the United States, praised for their “gripping” performances (The Times of London), and their “original” (BBC Radio 3), “imaginative” (Limelight Australia), and “engrossing” (WQXR NYC) programming

A CHRISTMAS CAROL - RELEASES 11.26.21

A ground-breaking and genre-defying new recording and concert experience

Skylark partners with master storyteller Sarah Walker to offer a new musical interpretation of A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. Working from the original text abridged by Artistic Director Matthew Guard, Composer Benedict Sheehan has created a new concert-length "story score" that weaves familiar Christmas carols into the fabric of the Dickens story. Bringing timeless carols of the season together with the beloved characters of Charles Dickens promises to create an unforgettable new version of a Christmas classic.

​“The singing by Skylark’s 12 voices is of the highest standard for any area or any repertoire...I loved it. Strongly recommended.”
Classics Today

“…as haunting a collection of music as has been released in the last year…the lustrous choir…(brings) rapt intensity…anchored by an unwavering resonance” 
New York Music Daily

“Years ago the British magazine, Gramophone, published a list of the world’s 20 top choirs. Most of these were from the UK, the rest from Europe. No American choirs made the list, not even Chanticleer. If that list were to be redone for 2018, Skylark would be a serious contender" 
Tony Way, Limelight Magazine (Australia)
