“Lark is an accomplished and expressive artist worthy of all the fuss.” – Albany Times Union

Recipient of a 2018 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and winner of both an Avery Fisher Career Grant and the Naumburg Violin competition, violinist Tessa Lark is beloved of audiences and lauded by critics for her technical agility, elegance, and astounding range.  Ms. Lark has performed as a featured soloist with numerous U.S. orchestras since debuting with the Cincinnati Symphony at age sixteen and appeared last year at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall on the Distinctive Debuts series. She will be joined by pianist Andrew Armstrong, whose busy career includes performances this year at the Caramoor Festival and Wigmore Hall.  Their program includes works of Beethoven, Stravinsky and Lark’s original composition Appalachian Fantasy, a work inspired by her Kentucky roots, combining classical and bluegrass.
