Los Angeles Master Chorale

Choir

For over 60 years, the Grammy-Award winning Los Angeles Master Chorale has been a standard-bearer for choruses across America.

Hailed for its powerful performances, technical precision and artistic daring, the Chorale reaches nearly 100,000 people a year through its concert series at Walt Disney Concert Hall, its international touring of innovative works and its performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and others.

Led by Grant Gershon, Kiki & David Gindler Artistic Director; Associate Artistic Director Jenny Wong; and Interim President & CEO William Tully, the Master Chorale was named “the finest-by-far major chorus in America” by the Los Angeles Times. From intimate performances with just six or eight singers to full-scale collaborations featuring 100 voices, it consistently thrills audiences with its versatility and artistic depth, performing early choral works alongside pop classics and modern pieces as well as exclusive commissions from the world’s most innovative composers.

Voices of Master Chorale singers have been featured on many major motion pictures as well as on the 2025 and 2026 Academy Awards, which were broadcast to over 19 million viewers around the world.

Created by legendary conductor Roger Wagner in 1964, the Chorale is a founding resident company of The Music Center in Los Angeles and choir-in-residence at Walt Disney Concert Hall. It has an industry-defining commitment to fostering new music from modern composers and educating the next generation of choral music singers through its renowned learning programs.
