The Los Angeles Master Chorale joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic in celebrating the life and achievements of visionary architect and dear collaborator Frank Gehry. Frank’s maverick imagination gave shape to the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Beckmen YOLA Center in Inglewood, as well as inventive onstage collaborations with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Among Frank’s many gifts were his understanding of the human spirit and his ability to create spaces that inspire and build community. We are forever grateful for his friendship and the opportunity to share in his creativity.

Perhaps the most, or only, conventional element of Busoni’s Piano Concerto is its title. Nearly 75-minutes in length with five movements—the last featuring a men’s chorus—and one of the largest orchestras of the entire genre, it requires nothing less than a herculean effort by the soloist not to mention the more than 100 other musicians performing.

Pianist Igor Levit, a noted champion of Busoni who has called the concerto, “a piece to widen your curse words repertoire,” rises to its considerable challenges. Together with LA Phil Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen and men of the Los Angeles Master Chorale, he explores Busoni’s grand utopian vision. Reviewing Levit and Salonen’s 2023 performance of the concerto in San Francisco, the Los Angeles Times raved “...the communal exultation of Levit, Salonen, the orchestra and chorus captured something so large and impractically visionary, something that had so much to say about the society to which we aspire, that one could walk out of the concert hall convinced we can make a difference.”

Scriabin’s vision for Prometheus lays out the mythic tale of humanity receiving the gift of fire not just through mystical music but through an all-consuming work of art that draws on the audience’s senses. The Russian composer, who described himself as synesthetic, envisioned a color organ for the piece that would project various hues of light that he associated with each musical tone or chord.

In the first half, the LA Phil’s Conductor Laureate reunites with one of his favorite collaborators, violinist Pekka Kuusisto, for the world premiere performance of a new concerto by another of Salonen’s regular collaborators: composer Gabriella Smith. Afterward, he guides Debussy’s radiant, Impressionistic cantata, La damoiselle élue, with soprano Liv Redpath, mezzo-soprano Jingjing Xu, and the voices of the Los Angeles Master Chorale.

Countless fans know and love Leonard Bernstein’s landmark work, but few have seen it like this. Originally conceived as an opera, we’re paying tribute to Bernstein’s impact with the grand operatic treatment. Rather than a small-scale instrumental ensemble, we’re unleashing the power of the LA Opera Orchestra—not to mention a magnificent cast in top vocal and physical form. Be there as James Conlon and director Francesca Zambello dive into one of the most emblematic works of American theater with this elevated, maximalist take that incorporates the iconic original choreography created by the legendary Jerome Robbins.

The Los Angeles Master Chorale begins its 2025-26 season with TWO TITANS: THE MUSIC OF BEETHOVEN AND VERDI featuring Beethoven’s Mass in C major, Op. 86 and Verdi’s Four Sacred Pieces—monumental works that embody themes of spiritual devotion, human empathy, and the search for solace in times of uncertainty. Beethoven’s Mass in C major, Op. 86, with its grandeur and intricate choral harmonies, reflects a deep sense of reverence and aspiration.

Similarly, Verdi’s Four Sacred Pieces, written in the composer’s later years, explores themes of gratitude, redemption, and divine presence. Parts of Beethoven's Mass in C major, Op. 86 premiered on the same legendary concert as his 5th and 6th Symphonies and his 4th Piano Concerto, making that the most “stacked” program in the history of music. Verdi wrote the Four Sacred Pieces as he was putting the finishing touches on his masterpieces Otello and Falstaff. Of the four pieces, Verdi liked the Te Deum so much that he reportedly wanted to be buried with the score.
