SUPPORT OUR ARTIST FUND
We care deeply about our artists, and understand the hardships they are facing due to COVID-19. Our artists are full-time musicians, and many rely exclusively on groups like Skylark for their livelihood. As many professional music performances are being canceled for the next few months, many artists are facing an uncertain amount of time of severely reduced (or even zero) income. To learn more about the impact of COVID-19 on professional musicians, read our new blog post.
In this difficult time, we’d also ask you to consider a donation to our artist fund. 100% of all donations through this link will go directly to our artists.
“The cream of the American crop…in their short existence, Skylark is already renowned for their elevated programming as well as their crystalline sound”

“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"
