LA Master Chorale: Sound Waves
Sound Waves: The Music of Esmail, Garrett, and Woo offers three powerful meditations on water including Malhaar: A Requiem for Water by Swan Family Artist-in-Residence Reena Esmail, alongside new works by composers Marques L. A. Garrett and Hyowon Woo. With Malhaar, Reena explores the universal theme of water through a cross-cultural lens, emphasizing that we are all citizens of the earth connected by a huge ecosystem in which water is a life force. Reena was inspired by William O’Daly’s book “Water Ways,” a poetic exploration of the disappearance of water. O'Daly is known for his English translations of the poetry of Pablo Neruda, and is also a Research Writer at the California Department of Water Resources and is the Lead Writer for the California Water Plan. Reena uses O’Daly’s text throughout the piece, intermingled with movements from the traditional requiem text. Overlaid on this texture are passages in Sanskrit and Hindi. The work moves through the various forms of Raag Malhaar (monsoon raags), to convey the importance and power of water, which holds a sacred place in Indian classical music. The work features Hindustani vocalist Saili Oak.

LA Philharmonic: Gracias Gustavo
Gustavo Dudamel honors his Venezuelan and American identities, presiding over two poetry-inspired choral symphonic works in his final Walt Disney Concert Hall program as Music & Artistic Director. At times hushed and mysterious and at others pulsating and ecstatic, Harmonium was a breakthrough for John Adams’ compositional voice. In the second half, Dudamel guides Cantata Criolla, another breakthrough work that is not just definitive of composer Antonio Estévez’ voice but an emerging national Venezuelan style.

San Diego Symphony Chorus: Brahms Requiem (Copy)
Brahms is not only one of the most famous and cherished composers in all of 19th century music, but an artist of rich and wonderful contradictions.

Anyone can listen to it and be deeply moved and captivated by it, but each of us will always find that there is more and more to discover in it.
Brahms, in a word, is a whole world of feelings and of melody.

LA Master Chorale: Common Ground
The first of the Master Chorale's commissioned world premieres this season is by five-time Emmy®-winning composer Jeff Beal, known for his scores for TV shows like House of Cards, Monk, and Rome, as well as films such as Pollock and Blackfish. Part of Common Ground: The Music of Górecki and Jeff Beal, Beal’s new work, The Beatitudes, will be paired with Henryk Górecki’s Miserere, a deeply moving piece inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement of the 1980s. Composed in 1981 as a protest against Soviet-backed government intervention, Miserere was not premiered until 1987 due to martial law. With just five words in its text—“Domine Deus noster, Miserere nobis” (“Lord our God, have mercy on us”)—Górecki creates an oasis of peace and compassion. The Chorale first performed Miserere in 2002 during Grant Gershon’s inaugural season as Artistic Director and recorded Miserere in 2013 for Decca.
LA MAster Chorale: Frank Gehry Celebration of Life

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.
LA Philharmonic: Busoni’s Masterpiece
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.”
