Los Angeles Master Chorale Revenue and Competitors

The Los Angeles Master Chorale, described as "a major cultural asset to Los Angeles" by the Los Angeles Times, was founded in 1964. One of the Music Center's two original resident performing arts companies, it gave its first performance at the Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in January 1965, where it subsequently performed for 38 seasons until moving to the landmark Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003. It is the first organization in the nation to offer a complete season of great choral masterworks, and, over the years, has hosted such distinguished guest conductors as Robert Shaw, Helmuth Rilling, Margaret Hillis Robert Page and Richard Westenberg. In addition to presenting its own concert series at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Chorale performs regularly with the Los Angeles Philharmonic both at the Music Center and at the Hollywood Bowl with such stellar conductors as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Pierre Boulez, Michael Tilson-Thomas and Roger Norrington, among many others. It is also featured on several recordings with the orchestra.
