Violinist Tessa Lark

Violinist Tessa Lark

Lauren Desberg

The inspiration for the 2018 violin concerto titled “Sky” by American composer Michael Torke (TOR-kee) came from violinist Tessa Lark who is originally from Kentucky where she was introduced to Bluegrass music early on. With the violin mimicking a banjo, Irish reel source music (the forerunner of American Bluegrass) and more, "Sky," with violinist Tessa Lark, is today's Midday Masterpiece.
