Los Angeles Master Chorale
Choir
The Grammy-winning Los Angeles Master Chorale is the “the finest-by-far major chorus in America” (Los Angeles Times) and a vibrant cultural treasure.
Hailed for its powerful performances, technical precision, and artistic daring, the Chorale is led by Grant Gershon, Kiki & David Gindler Artistic Director; Associate Artistic Director Jenny Wong; and President & CEO Scott Altman. Its Swan Family Artist-in-Residence is Reena Esmail.
Created by legendary conductor Roger Wagner in 1964, the Chorale is a founding resident company of The Music Center and choir-in-residence at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The Chorale reaches over 175,000 people a year through performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall, its international touring of innovative works, and its collaborations with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and others.
The Chorale’s discography includes the LA Phil’s Deutsche Grammophon recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, for which the Chorale won a Best Choral Performance Grammy with the National Children’s Chorus, Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, and Pacific Chorale. The Chorale released The Sacred Veil by Eric Whitacre in 2020. Under Gershon’s direction, the Chorale has released eight commercial recordings and is featured on the soundtracks of many major motion pictures, including Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
The Chorale toured its productions of Lagrime di San Pietro and Heinrich Schütz’s Music to Accompany a Departure, both directed by Peter Sellars, earning rave reviews across the globe that cited the Chorale’s performances as “painfully beautiful” (Süddeutsche Zeitung) and “transcendent” and “incomparably moving” (Los Angeles Times).
