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. A monumental choral and orchestral tour de force, Mozart’s full-length symphonic reinterpretation of Handel’s Baroque masterpiece presents the popular work in a whole new light. Mozart embellished it with French horns, flutes, clarinets and an expanded string section, creating a full sensuous sound. The iconic “Hallelujah Chorus†and sparking solos are sure to captivate. This performance is of particular significance because it marks the work’s Disney Hall debut.
The Chorale first performed this version of the Messiah in two joint concerts with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in April 2003 – about a year into Gershon’s tenure with the Chorale – at Royce Hall and the Alex Theatre.
