Recognized as one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles, four-time GRAMMY nominee Skylark blends some of America’s most virtuosic voices into an emotionally impactful and cohesive whole. Through innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary programming, Skylark aims to redefine the choral experience for artists and audiences alike. From its homebase in Boston to premiere venues like the Met Cloisters, Spivey Hall, and the Morgan Library, Skylark is setting a global standard in the choral arts with unexpected themes, surprising connections, and imaginative collaborations. Performances have been called “exquisite…thrilling…stunning’ by Gramophone Magazine and “gripping” by The Times of London.
