The Lark
Chamber Artists(LCA) is a uniquely structured ensemble featuring
some of today’s most active performers who have come
together to present a broad range of musical styles embracing the
traditional favorites of the chamber music repertoire as well as
adventuresome new commissions and collaborations for a new standard
in innovative programming.
As an outgrowth of the world-renowned Lark Quartet,
the LCA is comprised of a core group of musicians representing strings,
piano, woodwinds and percussion. LCA programs feature works scored
for a wide variety of instrumental combinations ranging from soloist
to small chamber orchestra and encompassing repertoire from the
Baroque to the present.
In the spirit of the Lark Quartet, the LCA values
its role in the development of future chamber music audiences through
outreach concerts and makes use of the rich array of educational
programs developed by the Lark over many years.
