The Los Angeles Master Chorale, a jewel in the crown of the Los Angeles music scene, stands as one of the world's premier choirs. Founded in 1964 by Roger Wagner, the Chorale is recognized for its exceptional artistry and wide-ranging repertoire, encompassing classical masterpieces as well as pioneering new works. Positioned as a resident company of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, this esteemed ensemble has been led by several influential conductors, with Grant Gershon serving as the current Artistic Director since 2001.
The ensemble's versatility is showcased in their eclectic array of recent releases. In their exploration of the contemporary classical oeuvre, the Los Angeles Master Chorale has presented the otherworldly complexity of Thomas Adès' "Dante" and celebrated the intimate storytelling of David Lang's "The National Anthems" and "The Little Match Girl Passion." The Chorale's impressive adaptability is underlined by their foray into Frank Zappa's avant-garde universe with "200 Motels - The Suites," and the interpretation of large-scale works such as John Adams' oratorio "The Gospel According to the Other Mary." Alongside these, they have imbued the profound emotions of Eric Whitacre’s "The Sacred Veil," revealing their commitment to evocative performances that span the breadth of human experience. In every piece, from the visionary compositions of Nico Muhly to the evocative settings of Górecki's "Miserere," the Los Angeles Master Chorale continues to affirm its place as an influential force in both the local and international choral music landscapes.
