2018-2019 SEASON FINALE
May 24 - 27, 2019: Skylark presents Remembrance
Skylark closes its season with a stunningly beautiful tribute to America’s fallen heroes, with music taken from times of conflict over our nation’s history. Beginning with gritty revolutionary hymns of William Billings, and carrying through popular folk tunes and bluegrass music of the 20th and 21st centuries, Skylark’s signature programming is sure to appeal to a broad audience. The program includes many well-known hymns, including Amazing Grace and the Navy Hymn, with stunning solos and pristine ensemble work, along with more recent compositions familiar to Skylark audiences: Elder’s beautiful Elegy, Kirchener’s Angel Band, and others. Skylark’s closing set will include Take him Earth, for Cherishing written by British composer Herbert Howells to commemorate American President John. F Kennedy.

“…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"
