Skylark is a premiere vocal ensemble of leading American vocal soloists, chamber musicians, and music educators. Skylark's music has been described as: "sublimely beautiful" (Opera Obsession) "engrossing... reaches in through the ribs and grips the vitals" (Q2/WQXR NY) "leave a hardened critic near tears" (Boston Music Intelligencer) With "some of Boston's best singers" (Boston Globe) "Skylark can sway you softly into calm and then all but throw you across the room with sheer harmonic force" (Thought Catalog) The Project SEVEN: words from the cross, is a diverse and innovative program of music for Good Friday, pairing music from the United States with choral music from other parts of the world. This highly original album progresses through the scriptural seven last words of Christ on the Cross, pairing the music of William Billings and the Sacred Harp with the music of contemporary composers Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Jaakko Mäntyjärvi.
