Skylark Vocal Ensemble

Matthew Guard, conductor

Behold the virtuosic voices of Skylark as they transform into a symphonic texture, creating powerfully evocative soundscapes that reimagine both classical instrumental works and contemporary songs. In this innovative program, audiences will hear beloved orchestral pieces by composers like Barber, Elgar, and Mahler alongside transformed songs from artists such as Joni Mitchell, Sarah Bareilles, and Jon Batiste—all through the extraordinary versatility of the human voice alone. These musical metamorphoses create unexpected dialogues between different genres and eras, revealing new emotional depths in familiar works. Join us for an unforgettable journey where the boundaries between orchestral and vocal expression dissolve, leaving only the pure essence of musical storytelling.
