Part II: May 30, 2024 | 6-8pm
Art and Artsong
An intimate chamber program pairing gorgeous vocal works with art from the Museum, with particular inspiration from Joaquín Sorolla’s Visión de España
Skylark has developed an international reputation for beautiful and innovative programming, which once again will be on display in this concert conceived specifically for the Courtyard of the Hispanic Society Museum. Featuring a chamber group of Skylark’s world-class vocal soloists, this concert will feature pieces of music curated for the location because they share thematic, historical, or artistic connections to specific works of visual art in the collection of the Hispanic Society Museum.
Three-time GRAMMY®-nominee Skylark, “the cream of the American crop” (BBC Radio 3), is a premier chamber choir comprised of leading American vocal soloists, chamber musicians, and music educators. Skylark’s dramatic performances have been described as “gripping” (The Times of London), “exquisite…thrilling” (Gramophone Magazine), and “awe-inspiring” (Boston Music Intelligencer). Skylark’s mission is to be the most exciting and innovative vocal ensemble for audiences and artists alike, and to provide inspiring educational activities that positively impact students’ lives. Skylark sets the standard for innovative and engaging programs that re-define the choral experience for audiences and singers alike – three of its most recent albums have received GRAMMY® nominations, and Artistic Director Matthew Guard’s well-researched and creative programs have been described as “engrossing” (WQXR-NY) and “original, stimulating, and beautiful” (BBC Radio 3).
