Bernstein & lang is TOMORROW! We can’t wait to share this music with you!

Bernstein’s work is bold, jazzy, and profoundly American, moving from the Hebrew scripture of Chichester Psalms to the urgent, street-corner drama of West Side Story to the hymn-like communal finale of Candide. lang’s is something else entirely: spare, meditative, almost liturgical in its stillness… Juxtaposed against one another, Bernstein and lang illuminate a full spectrum of the human experience in one remarkable evening.

“In the aftermath of the LA fires, what began as an idea between Ali Pistoresi and Alison Sieh grew into a meaningful collaboration between Audiomachine, BMG, and Angeles Chorale, with the aim of giving back and giving voice to what the community had endured”

It’s been a year since we’ve recorded “Resonance” with Audiomachine! We are so grateful for Audiomachine, everyone who has streamed the album since it came out just last month, and for our lovely singers who gave this recording their all! You can find streaming links for “Resonance” or the BTS documentary at our Linktree!

You can also see Angeles Chorale this Sunday at the Alex Theatre for Bernstein & lang!

Bernstein & lang is one week away! Did you know you can livestream the event from home?!

Artistic Director Lesley Leighton says, on Bernstein & lang, “I was interested in offering a concert of music by Jewish composers, which of course led me to Leonard Bernstein and Chichester Psalms… a classic work known for its blend of jazz influences, theatrical panache,
and soaring melodies... The challenge was what to pair it with... I landed on a piece by david lang. While david by his own admission is not religious in a traditional or orthodox way, he feels that his experiences as a Jew who comes from a Jewish immigrant family have profoundly
influenced his worldview and artistic output.”

In June 2023, the Angeles Chorale Board of Directors established a stole tradition to recognize our signers– the heart and soul of our organization. Each stole is embroidered with the Angeles Chorale logo and the singer’s name. They represent, by color, years of service. The board looks forward to awarding the first Gold Stole to a member reaching 50 years of service.

In expressing both heartfelt gratitude and admiration, we invite you to join us in honoring them in two weeks at our upcoming concert, Bernstein & lang, at the Alex Theatre!
