Tony-Winning Composer Jason Robert Brown to Headline LA Master Chorale Gala

The Los Angeles Master Chorale's 2016 gala celebration, "Broadway on Grand," transports the show-stopping music, dazzling allure and thrilling excitement of 42nd Street to Walt Disney Concert Hall with an exclusive private concert featuring unforgettable songs from American musical theatre, as well as a glamorous cocktail reception in Disney Hall's dramatic lobby and sumptuous post-performance dinner by Patina in BP Hall, on Saturday, March 19, 2016, 6 pm, at the landmark venue in downtown Los Angeles. For the celebration, Artistic Director Grant Gershon conducts the Grammy-nominated chorus in a program of music by such legendary composers as Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Cole Porter, with special guest composer/performer Jason Robert Brown, the three-time Tony Award-winning composer of such acclaimed Broadway shows as Parade, The Last Five Years, and The Bridges of Madison County.

In addition to savoring the concert, guests will also have the opportunity to bid on an array of irresistible auction items, take in the Chorale's signature LAMC "Surround Sing," during which Chorale singers encircle gala patrons and shower them in glorious song, and trip the light fantastic into the wee hours. Gala proceeds help support LAMC's artistic and education programs throughout the year.
