Re-Imaginings begins with music you think you know. Bach, Mozart, Debussy, and Mahler appear alongside Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, and Coldplay, but not in their usual forms. Instrumental works are recast for voices, and songs are placed in unexpected relation to the traditions they echo.
A Bach chorale surfaces within American Tune. Tallis returns in altered form. Debussy’s Nuages drifts by with words drawn from Baudelaire. As the program unfolds, the ground shifts almost imperceptibly. What remains is the sound of voices alone, carrying each piece somewhere new. Six-time GRAMMY®-nominated Skylark performs this program live in advance of a forthcoming recording released in partnership with the London Symphony Orchestra.
