Favorite choral work(s):

A defining moment of favorite LA Master Chorale onstage experience:
I will never forget the first time we sang in the brand new Walt Disney Concert Hall. Grant led us in a couple of a cappella pieces from the stage (in particular, I recall Randall Thomson's "Alleluia") and encouraged us to go sit and listen from different spots in the hall. Overwhelming.

What are you listening to these days?
The Wailin' Jennies, Prince, the Punch Brothers...

Where do you live in L.A.?
Eagle Rock

What L.A. experience do you consider essential for visitors/newcomers?
Take a hike in Griffith Park, catch a concert at the Greek or the Hollywood Bowl, grab a bite downtown at the Central Market.
