Clear Voices in the Dark
Music written in wartime, heard in places where history remains close
Francis Poulenc’s Figure humaine, composed in Nazi-occupied France in 1943, appears alongside songs from the American Civil War.
These programs unfold across distinct settings: a coastal hall at the edge of the Atlantic, a Memorial Day gathering on Cape Cod, and in the heart of New York City. In Washington DC, Skylark performs at St. John’s Lafayette Square, where Lincoln came to pray during the Civil War.
“I couldn’t stop listening.” — BBC Record Review
“Painfully gripping.” — The Arts Fuse
Skylark’s album Clear Voices in the Dark received two GRAMMY® nominations.
