Los Angeles Master Chorale
Mission
The Los Angeles Master Chorale is an independent and innovative professional vocal ensemble that shares the traditional and evolving spectrum of choral music with the widest possible audience. We advance our mission through performances, community education, collaboration, commissioning, and recording.
VISION
We envision a world in which choral music is a conduit for belonging, a vehicle for participation in the arts, and a means for understanding and exploring commonalities and differences.
The Los Angeles Master Chorale strives to be a leader in engaging the diverse individuals and communities that make up Los Angeles, our home. Over the next three to five years, the Chorale will focus on using the transformative power of choral music to engage and to inspire more people in Los Angeles, and around the world, with greater impact.
WHO WE ARE
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 more than 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.
Led by Grant Gershon, Kiki & David Gindler Artistic Director; Associate Artistic Director Jenny Wong; and President & CEO Scott Altman, 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 140 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 numerous film scores including Star Wars – The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, How to Train Your Dragon and Superman (2025) as well as on the Academy Awards Memoriam segment.
The Master Chorale’s innovative education programs include High School Choir Festival, the Oratorio Project, Voices Within and Youth Chorus LA, which prepare future generations of choral singers and uplift communities through the transformative power of choral music.
