Los Angeles Children’s Chorus (LACC) showcases the remarkable talents of its Grammy Award-winning ensembles at Every Child Sings, an inspiring and entertaining benefit concert and after-party on Friday, April 12, 2024, 6 pm, at Colburn School’s Zipper Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The highly anticipated event is a rebrand of The Choir’s flagship spring gala, placing the choristers themselves as the focus of the annual fundraiser that benefits LACC’s award-winning music education programs and need-based scholarship fund, entitled Every Child Sings.
Special guest Anne Akiko Meyers, one of the world’s most esteemed violinists celebrated for “playing that comes from the heart” (The New York Times), joins LACC for this enchanting evening of music and community. Conducting LACC’s various ensembles in a program of music spanning the ages are Artistic Director Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Associate Artistic Director Fred Meads, and Dr. Steven Kronaur, director of the Young Men’s Ensemble.
Following the concert, guests will mingle on the Colburn Plaza, enjoying a festive after-party with live music, delectable food, craft cocktails, and a selection of fine wines.
Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, widely recognized as one of the world’s preeminent youth choirs, has been lauded as “hauntingly beautiful” (Los Angeles Times), and “one of the true artistic gems of Los Angeles” (Gustavo Dudamel).
