Buckhead’s Covenant Presbyterian Church will present the
Skylark Vocal Ensemble, a professional chamber choir of world-class vocalists
and musicians who specialize in small ensemble performances, on Friday, Jan. 24
at 8 p.m.  The ensemble will present
“From Winter to Spring”, featuring the music of Britten, Debussy, Poulenc and
Tavener.  General admission tickets are
$30, and $20 for seniors.  Students and
music educators will be admitted free. 
Tickets are available at the door, as well as online at http://www.skylarkensemble.org/tickets.html.  Free parking is available on the upper deck
of the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center,
next door to the church, located at 2461

“Our historic sanctuary is the perfect place to enjoy this
program of seasonal music,” said Jeffrey McIntyre, director of music ministries
for Covenant Presbyterian Church.  “The
experience and talent of the Skylark members is unmatched and I encourage
anyone who loves good music to attend.”

The Skylark Vocal Ensemble performs concert programs with a
unifying theme to reinforce the intent of the composers and meaning of the
text.  Members belong to choirs in the
organization’s home cities of Atlanta and Boston, and have also
performed with internationally renowned organizations including the Blue Heron
Chorale, Chanticleer, the Choir of St Thomas Fifth Avenue, Conspirare, Seraphic
Fire, the Choir of Trinity College Cambridge, the Westminster Abbey Choir, and
the Yale Choral Artists.  Up to 40
percent of Skylark’s proceeds are given to charities that support music
education.
