Belting out the Hallelujah chorus has become an exhilarating and joyous holiday tradition, and the Los Angeles Master Chorale’s famed “Messiah Sing-Along,” conducted by artistic director Grant Gershon, continues to reign supreme as the ultimate must-do for sing-along fans on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. at Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Sopranos, altos, tenors and basses of all abilities – even those with no singing experience – are welcome to the Chorale’s 34th Annual Sing-Along, in which the 2,100-member audience becomes the choir.

The performance features a professional orchestra and quartet of professional soloists from the Chorale, including Holly Sedillos, soprano; Janelle DeStefano, mezzo soprano; Ben Cortez, tenor; and David Castillo, baritone. Messiah scores are available for $10 at the door.
The season continues when the LAMC adds a generous dash of yuletide cheer with a matinee performance of its popular “Festival of Carols,” on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. and the exquisite balance in an all a cappella program that celebrates the 20th anniversary of former composer-in-residence/National Medal of Arts recipient Morten Lauridsen’s monumental O Magnum Mysterium, on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m.
Adding a final flourish to the holiday season, the LAMC presents two concerts of Handel’s Messiah on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m.
The Messiah concerts are the last of four holiday programs presented by the Los Angeles Master Chorale at Disney Hall in December. For tickets and information, please call (213) 972-7282 or visit www.lamc.org.
