SUMMARY:Rockport Music Presents: Skylark

Written in 1943 in occupied France and set to resistance-inspired poems by Paul Éluard\, it confronts the realities of war\, culminating in Liberté—an embattled cry for freedom.Clear Voices in the Dark places this work alongside music from the American Civil War\, bringing two periods of conflict into direct conversation. The recording of this program received two GRAMMY® nominations in 2024. The 2026 program also includes a new arrangement of America the Beautiful by Matthew Guard and Benedict Sheehan. \nThis performance will be filmed. Audience members may be visible in recorded material. \nAbout Skylark\nSix-time GRAMMY®-nominated Skylark creates moments that may live with you for the rest of your life. \nOur programs draw connections between music\, history\, art\, and place. Projects have included an exploration of hidden musical codes with Dan Brown; a meditation on human hope and resistance pairing Poulenc’s Figure Humaine with American Civil War songs; A Christmas Carol with Christine Baranski at the Morgan Library & Museum; an exploration of mathematics and music at MIT; Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles at the Hispanic Society of America; and candlelit performances of medieval to modern sacred works at the Met Cloisters. \nFeatured in The New York Times\, Associated Press\, BBC\, and Gramophone.

SUMMARY:Billy Childs Trio
DESCRIPTION:Experience an evening with Billy Childs\, one of the most celebrated and visionary composers and pianists of our time. Widely regarded as among the foremost American composers of his generation\, Childs has forged a singular voice that seamlessly unites jazz\, classical\, and contemporary chamber music traditions—creating a richly expressive style that is both sophisticated and deeply personal. \nA six-time GRAMMY-Award winner and seventeen-time nominee\, Childs has been honored across genres\, receiving awards for Best Instrumental Composition\, Best Arrangement\, and Best Instrumental Jazz Album\, most recently for The Winds of Change. His groundbreaking ability to move fluidly between jazz improvisation and orchestral composition has earned him commissions from leading institutions including the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, Detroit Symphony\, National Symphony\, Kronos Quartet\, and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. His works have been performed at Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center\, and Walt Disney Concert Hall. \nChilds first rose to prominence as a prodigious young pianist with J.J. Johnson and Freddie Hubbard\, launching a jazz career that has evolved into one of remarkable breadth. His recordings—ranging from the acclaimed Lyric and Autumn: In Moving Pictures to Map to the Treasure\, featuring artists such as Renée Fleming and Yo-Yo Ma—demonstrate his extraordinary range and collaborative spirit. \nIn performance\, Childs combines virtuosic piano artistry with compositional brilliance\, delivering music that is lyrical\, rhythmically vibrant\, and emotionally resonant. Whether in intimate trio settings or expansive chamber works\, Billy Childs offers a concert experience that bridges traditions and redefines the possibilities of American music.
