Every Thursday in September enjoy a different cinematic classic under the stars with special pre-show live performances.

This year’s lineup includes:

About Skylark:

Skylark, one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles, blends some of America’s most virtuosic voices into an emotionally impactful and cohesive whole. Through innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary programming, Skylark aims to redefine the choral experience for artists and audiences alike. From its “homebase” in Eastern Massachusetts to premiere venues like the Met Cloisters, Spivey Hall, and the Morgan Library, Skylark is setting a global standard in the choral arts.

Artistic Director Matthew Guard’s well-researched and creative programs have been described as “engrossing” (WQXR New York) and “original, stimulating, and beautiful” (BBC Radio 3). Skylark’s performances have been called “gripping” by The Times of London and “thrilling” by Gramophone Magazine. With “some of Boston’s best singers” (Boston Globe), the ensemble creates a sound that “can sway you softly into calm and then all but throw you across the room with sheer harmonic force” (Thought Catalog).
