Programme Note
Join the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus for a mesmerizing afternoon concert of choral music from England, Irland and Scotland. Included in the programme are highlights such as Shenandoah (Memley), Journey Home (Tan), Danny Boy (Memley), Skye Boat Song (Macleeod, arr. Smith) and Loch Lomond (Quick).
GRAMMY Award-winning Los Angeles Children’s Chorus was founded in 1986 by Rebecca Thompson and Stephanie Mowery to sing the children’s chorus part for Britten’s War Requiem. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Emerita Anne Tomlinson, LACC grew to include six progressively experienced choirs, a program of First Experiences in Singing (FES) classes for 6-7-year-old boys and girls, and a First Experiences in Choral Singing Ensemble for FES graduates and children who audition at the pre-Preparatory Choir level.
Now led by Artistic Director Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, LACC consists of seven choirs and is recognized throughout the country for its exceptional artistic quality and technical ability. The Chorus performs frequently with leading music ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Calder Quartet, Pasadena Symphony, and MUSE/IQUE. LACC also assists LA Opera by training and providing children for its opera productions that require children’s chorus or child soloists. LACC choristers have served as musical ambassadors of Los Angeles on tours to Africa, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Cuba, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, Poland, and Sweden, as well as many parts of the United States.
LACC’s commitment to artistic excellence has been recognized with leading industry honours, including a 2022 GRAMMY Award for Best Choral Performance for its performance on the LA Phil’s Mahler Symphony No. 8 album, Chorus America’s 2014 Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, and an Academy Award nomination for the 2001 film, Sing!
