One of the most renowned choirs in America, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, will mark their 50th anniversary season the last weekend of January, featuring two performances of Bach’s B Minor Mass as well as a gala celebration, ‘Golden on Grand’.
Music director Grant Gershon will lead the chorale and an orchestra in Bach’s B Minor Mass at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Saturday, January 25 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, January 26 at 7 p.m.
For the Master Chorae, the Bach Mass was the big bang that started it all! Not one single choral work goes further back with the LA Master Chorale than the B Minor Mass. The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion was only 123 days old when Music Director Roger Wagner stepped onto the stage to conduct Bach’s beloved masterpiece as the first-ever performance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Grant Gershon temporarily sets aside his penchant for intimate, historically informed performances to present a Bach concert designed to “blow the roof of Disney Hall,” featuring a much larger chorus and orchestra for this grand anniversary occasion.
