About this Event
Skylark takes to the skies to celebrate its avian roots in a program exploring music inspired by the wonder of flight. The centerpiece is Benedict Sheehan’s new commission Songbird Antiphons, featuring poetry by Charles Anthony Silvestri and Talia Sheehan, which celebrates American songbirds while highlighting threats to their habitats. The program features Eric Whitacre’s thrilling Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine alongside works by Caroline Shaw, Abbie Betinis, Ravel, Vaughan Williams, and Stanford.
Concertgoers can seamlessly experience Aviary, a captivating sound installation located just across Audubon Terrace at the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Artist Raven Chacon’s soundscape of native Hudson Valley birdcalls creates a fascinating complement to the concert.
