Thank you San Francisco Classical Voice for a terrific review of our toured work, Music to Accompany a Departure by Heinrich Schütz. Our singers were thrilled to perform this meaningful, emotional work at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and Zellerbach Hall with Cal Performances this past weekend. We were so proud to present this piece and share its message with these communities. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dUBSb9_A #SFClassicalVoice #LAMasterChorale #ChoralMusic #ChoralArts

About us
The 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 Jean Davidson. 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. Chorister positions are highly sought after, and the fully professional choir is a diverse and vocally dynamic group. The Chorale reaches over 175,000 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. Committed to increasing representation in the choral repertoire, the Chorale announced in 2020 that it will reserve at least 50% of each future season for works by composers from historically excluded groups. This commitment to inclusion runs through the entire organization, which recently ratified a five-year plan that commits to improving representation at the staff and board levels, continuing to build a more diverse roster of singers, and reaching a wider audience.

We are thrilled to share that Scott Altman will join the Los Angeles Master Chorale as President & Chief Executive Officer, effective January 2, 2024. Scott is coming from the Cincinnati Ballet where he has served as President & CEO since August 2016. Under his visionary leadership, Cincinnati Ballet has reached many noteworthy milestones including the construction of the $32 million Cincinnati Ballet Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance, record-breaking ticket sales, and the launch of a highly successful annual Family Series while expanding community and education programs. "I am absolutely delighted to welcome Scott Altman to the Master Chorale family. Scott has helped to build the Cincinnati Ballet into a fantastically dynamic and responsive organization, and his vision for the Chorale is ambitious, bold, and fully aligned with my own. The Master Chorale is ramping up for a major expansion of all our activities, and it’s clear that Scott Altman is the executive leader who will help us to achieve our most far-reaching goals." - Grant Gershon, Kiki and David Gindler Artistic Director 📸 : Aaron Conway
