Skylark presents the 3rd concert in their series at the Hispanic Society Museum & Library.

Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles may be the first true choral masterwork of the 21st century. Talbot, whose dramatic compositions include well-known film scores and luscious ballets, composed the piece in 2005 for the British ensemble Tenebrae, a group similar to Skylark both in size and vocal virtuosity. The piece takes the listener on a mesmerizing vocal journey across the ancient Camino de Santiago, the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Northwest Spain. With its four varied and theatrical movements named for important cities along the pilgrim’s path, and its moving libretto by poet Robert Dickinson, Path of Miracles has been called “little short of a musical miracle in itself.”

Join Skylark in Falmouth, Massachusetts for their annual Memorial Day concert and celebrate the exciting release of Skylark's newest album: Clear Voices in the Dark.

Skylark presents the 1st concert in their series at the Hispanic Society Museum & Library.

The manuscript collection at the Hispanic Society Library is a rich trove of handwritten copies and early editions of 16th and 17th century polyphony from masters including Tomás Luis de Victoria and Francisco Guerrero, as well as lesser-known composers like Bartolomé de Olagüe, choirmaster of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela from 1651-58. In this luminous musical exploration of Spanish renaissance treasures, Skylark will perform several pieces that are modern premieres, having been lost to history until transcribed by Skylark musicologist Dr. John K. Cox directly from the Hispanic Society collections. The first program in Skylark’s musical pilgrimage will include some of the earliest music ever transcribed for multiple voices, chants from the Codex Callixtinus, the 13th-century guidebook for the pilgrimage to Santiago. The program will also take full advantage of the marvelous acoustics in the Hispanic Society’s main courtyard, at times surrounding the audience with up to 12 individual lines performed by Skylark’s virtuoso professional singers.

Join the Odyssey for an excursion like no other from Pulitzer Prize-winning master of contemporary American opera, Dominick Argento.

Ill and feverish, Boston-born writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe – his creativity and inspiration in the doldrums after his wife Virginia’s death two years prior – plans to sail to Baltimore on a “voyage of discovery.” But is a ship scheduled to depart? Amidst shipboard phantoms, morbid melodrama, a hasty child marriage, grotesque masquerade partygoers, a profusion of alcohol, and a haunting voice singing Poe’s last complete poem, “Annabel Lee”, two things exist: Poe and his dubious literary executor, the mercurial Griswold. A trial to contest madness, advised by fictional French detective Auguste Dupin, seemingly conjures Poe’s past, revealing a grisly auction of muses, his beloved Virginia’s funerary reawakening, and glittering visions of what lies beyond the grave.
