Madame Lark
For Madame Lark touring please visit On Tour link.
She has a musical-saw and a zeal for the many and varied voices of birds. Madame Lark offers her own vocal interpretations of the things around her... Along with her particular interest in hair, drawings, shapes and pedestrian elements of society, she gives an affectionate nod to the chatter and warblings of the air dwellers with surprisingly accurate Australian bird-calls.
Madame Lark has performed with many solo musicians such as Trent Arkley-Smith (cello), John Rodgers (violin), Lorne Gerlach (tuba and sousaphone); Jo Lack (violin); Michele Watt (tuba and sousaphone), Bevil Long (Annie Lee - keys), Peter Nelson (DJ & keys), Sally Campbell (violin), Gareth Skinner (cello), Sonya Lifschitz (piano), Thea Rosen (percussion) and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
