“Skylark delivers Rachmaninoff’s a cappella masterpiece with conviction, vigor, and a disarming earnestness” - Boston Musical Intelligencer
An apocryphal story recounts that when conductor Nikolai Danilin first heard Sergei Rachmaninoff play the score for his All-Night Vigil (‘Vespers’), Danilin said “Where am I to get such basses? They are as rare as Asparagus at Christmas!" Skylark returns this spring with its stunning rendition of Rachmaninoff's Vespers, performing from its own edition of the score prepared by Artistic Director Matthew Guard and Skylark Soprano Fotina Naumenko.
There will be a pre-concert talk 45 minutes prior to the concert.
