Babies of Skylark Campaign
|
With four new Skylark babies born in the last year, we are launching a campaign to raise the funds to support these new parents in their careers as musicians, and in their new roles as parents. Skylark is committed to being the most artist-friendly ensemble in the business: including encouraging artists to bring infant children, and an additional family members, with them to projects, and finding donors to sponsor the cost of providing family-friendly support.

Testimonials from new Skylark parents:

"Path of Miracles was the first singing I have done since the birth of my son, and I was only able to do so thanks to the generosity of Skylark in providing accommodations and childcare support. I was able to bring my infant son along for the whole week, and fly my mom in to look after him while we were rehearsing and performing! It's difficult to figure out how to sustainably combine a singing career with the responsibilities of caring for a little one - each of us singers has put years into practicing and perfecting our craft, and unfortunately it often feels like we need to put this investment, and our careers, on hold in order to become parents. Skylark is ahead of the curve in providing a solution - they allow our personal and singing lives to coexist by encouraging us to bring our families on contracts! I am so very thankful that Skylark sees and takes care of the whole person, and treats us and our loved ones like family." - Fotina Naumenko

"Skylark has been providing care and consideration for working parents, like no other group has. As a freelancer, oftentimes my wife and I are scrambling to find coverage to help with our little one at home, and because my schedule is pretty inconsistent, it can be tricky to make it all work with a baby at home, especially needing to travel away for most of my work. Skylark is the only ensemble that I work with that offers lodging, travel, food and childcare expenses for not only the parent, but the baby and its caregiver as well. This has allowed my son to travel with me during several Skylark projects that otherwise would have been impossible for me to attend, as I have been his primary caregiver these last several months. This is truly unexplored territory in the world of arts organizations, and Skylark is leading the way in such an incredible way to allow young parents to continue to work, while also caring for their young babies!" - Michael Hawes
