Lark Master Singers

The Master Singers are Lark’s volunteer adult choir, open via audition to any interested and committed adult singer. Its focus is to develop a repertoire of influential works drawn from the Western Classical and Armenian Folk traditions. Participants have the opportunity to learn choral techniques from both musical schools and improve individual performance practice alongside other passionate singers.

Over the years, the choir has tackled many great works of choral music. Most notably, its renditions of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, performed at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, Verdi’s Requiem, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and a selection of works by Komitas, at the Hollywood Bowl. The Master Singers have also demonstrated their dexterity by playing a crucial role in productions of Tchouhadjian’s Opera Comiques, again produced at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

Lark’s Master Singers take particular pride in taking on seldom-heard/seldom-performed music. This is seen in their numerous performances highlighting Armenian classical music and such composers as Tigran Mansourian, Parsegh Ganatchian, David Halajian, and, of course, the beloved Komitas.

The beating heart of Lark’s performance efforts, The Master Singers meet bi-weekly during active periods, striving for the highest quality in avocational choral presentations.
