LA Master Chorale Rejoice! Concert Held 12/12

The Los Angeles Master Chorale, considered one of the world's leading choir's, showcases its superlative artistry with a rare performance of Mozart's arrangement of Handel's beloved Messiah, conducted by Music Director Grant Gershon, Sunday, December 12, 2010, 7:00 p.m. This marks the Disney Concert Hall debut of Mozart's full-length symphonic reinterpretation of Handel's Baroque masterpiece, a monumental choral and orchestral tour de force that presents the popular work in a whole new light. Mozart embellished it with French horns, flutes, clarinets and an expanded string section, creating a lush full sound. It also includes the iconic "Hallelujah Chorus" and captivating solos.

Featured soloists - all of whom are Chorale members - include Deborah Mayhan, soprano; Tracy Van Fleet, mezzo-soprano; Jon Lee Keenan, tenor; and Steve Pence, bass.

The Chorale first performed this version of the Messiah in two joint concerts with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in April 2003 at Royce Hall and the Alex Theatre.
