The Los Angeles Master Chorale captures the shared human experience with a pairing of Brahms’ sublime Ein Deutsches Requiem and the West Coast premiere of The World in Flower, Peter Lieberson’s lyrical and moving message of tolerance written in memory of his wife and muse, famed mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, with whom the Chorale performed Adam’s El Niño in Los Angeles and New York.

Performances will be at the Walt Disney Concert Hall is located at 111 South Grand Avenue at First Street in downtown Los Angeles.
Gershon and KUSC’s Alan Chapman participate in ListenUp!, the pre-concert talk two hours prior to each performance. The soloists for the Lieberson piece are Kelley O’Connor, mezzo-soprano, and Brian Mulligan, baritone. Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem features soloists Yulia Van Doren, soprano, and Mulligan.
