The Los Angeles Master Chorale concludes its monumental season with New Renaissance, a capstone concert for the 60th Anniversary. With this virtuoso and eclectic program, the Chorale highlights the connection between music of the Renaissance and new works that represent the current renaissance of choral music here in Los Angeles. We begin with an exploration of the great Tudor composer William Byrd, represented by his Psalmes, Songs and Sonnets of 1611. The second part of the program points toward the future with works by several influential L.A. based composers who are particularly close to the Chorale, including Matthew Brown, Eric Whitacre, Dale Trumbore, Reena Esmail, Germaine Franco, Michael Abels and Darita Seth.
