SKYLARK is an innovative contemporary string ensemble based in northern Vermont. With decades of experience in the professional music community, Skylark's sound and repertoire challenge the boundaries between classical, folk and modern idioms, creating inspired original works for all audiences. Influenced by the Nordic, Celtic and American regions, Skylark’s programs feature arrangements and compositions by sonic trailblazers such as Väsen, the Danish and Turtle Island String Quartets, Dreamers' Circus, Pete Sutherland, and many more. At its heart, Skylark's music is melody-driven with unique energy, irresistible flair and undeniable beauty.​
​
Known for their vibrant quartet concerts, Skylark is also an avid collaborator. Recent concert projects have included performances with Guster, Henry Jamison, Mary Bonhag and an album recording with jazz trumpeter, Connor Young.
