The Angeles Chorale is excited to announce that live choral music is back in Los Angeles! In partnership with the LA Phil, the Angeles Chorale is ready to thrill audiences with two very special holiday programs. Artistic Director John Sutton says, “I could never have imagined that we'd emerge from the pandemic with two back-to-back weekends as guests of the L.A. Philharmonic!!! To join the L.A. Phil for the holiday classic "Home Alone" film in a live performance of the legendary John Williams score and then to come back the next weekend to be the resident choir for the LA Phil's Holiday Concert...it's truly more than I could have imagined. I'm really excited about these two weekends at Walt Disney Concert Hall and these musicmaking opportunities that are ours. What a way to come back!” On December 10th, 11th, and 12th the Angeles Chorale will be joining the prestigious LA Phil for Home Alone in Concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. In this classic film, Macaulay Culkin stars as Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy who's accidentally left behind when his family leaves for Christmas vacation, and who must defend his home against two bungling thieves. Featuring the delightful score by John Williams performed live to picture, this hilarious and heartwarming movie is sure to be a nostalgic musical trip through a holiday favorite. With choral selections such as Carol of the Bells, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and O Holy Night, this concert is sure to fill your heart with the sounds of the season. Conducted by David Newman, the LA Phil and the voices of the Angeles Chorale are ready to welcome audiences back to the magic of music during the holidays. On December 18th, the Angeles Chorale will again join the LA Phil for a very special holiday concert. It is sure to be a magical evening full of family-friendly holiday performances, skits, and activities…even a visit from Santa!

The LA Phil and Angeles Chorale will take you on a cheerful musical journey through a catalog of seasonal favorites.
