Addy returns as the soloist for LBCS’s annual Messiah concert, joined by Tesserae Baroque Orchestra.

Tesserae returns to the Sierra Madre Playhouse to present an intimate evening of music from the late 16th-century Ferrarese court. Expanding on Ian Pritchard’s program Ferrara 1590 from last season, this program will feature music that was likely performed for the Duke’s musica secreta—exclusive and intimate private concerts held at the court. The most famous performers at the musica secreta were the concerto delle donne, established in Ferrara and quickly imitated at other courts in northern Italy. Known historically for being one of the first professional female ensembles in Europe, the donne were also known for their extraordinary virtuosity and musicianship. In Ferrrara, they were occasionally joined by the Neapolitan knight Giulio Cesare Brancaccio, known for his powerful bass voice in addition to his incredibly eccentric personality. Featuring sopranos Anna Schubert and Addy Sterrett, baritone John Buffett, and harpsichordist Ian Pritchard.

Lightscape is an innovative multimedia artwork created by the artist Doug Aitken in collaboration with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. It’s a modern mythology propelled by music that asks the questions, “where are we now?” and “where are we going?” Lightscape is a shapeshifting act of contemporary storytelling that unfolds in various stages: a feature-length film, a multi-screen fine art installation, and a series of live musical performances.

The world premiere of the concert iteration of Lightscape caps off the LA Phil’s daylong Noon to Midnight: Field Recordings festival, with Grant Gershon leading the LA Phil New Music Group and the Los Angeles Master Chorale in a hypnotic series of original soundscapes and minimalist compositions to accompany Doug Aitken’s vivid moving images.

The voices of today’s Jewish composers ring out in a program for choir a cappella conducted by Associate Conductor James K. Bass. Shirim L'yom Tov, a set of celebratory songs by Pulitzer-prize-winning composer Shulamit Ran, offers wisdom and inspiration. The contemporary sounds and thought-provoking music of Lera Auerbach, David Lang, and Sid Robinovitch examine the rich tapestry of the Jewish experience. This concert is about more than music: it’s an exploration of culture and connection.

The Los Angeles Master Chorale opens the 2024-2025 season with Sing Joyfully | 60th Anniversary Celebration Concert, which features a cappella pieces from the Renaissance to present day. The concert opens with William Byrd’s ebullient Sing Joyfully, and the Chorale will take Byrd at his word by joyfully singing choral showpieces by Anton Bruckner, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla. The second half of the program celebrates the 30th anniversary of Morten Lauridsen’s classic O Magnum Mysterium (written for the Chorale), along with glorious music of Elinor Remick Warren, Moses Hogan and Leonard Bernstein among many others.

Walt Disney Concert Hall transforms into Shakespeare’s magical forest when Gustavo Dudamel leads Mendelssohn’s whimsical incidental music from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Complete with video projections setting the scene and Spanish actress María Valverde narrating, the music offers drama, fairies, and more than a little comedy. Dudamel has called Gabriela Ortiz “one of the most important composers in the world” for her distinct use of rhythm and harmonic colors. Alisa Weilerstein performs the world premiere of the Mexican composer’s new Cello Concerto.

Tesserae presents Alessandro Scarlatti’s monumental late oratorio ‘Cain, overo Il Primo Omicidio’, a Baroque masterpiece rarely heard in Southern California. Featuring an all-star cast of characters (including Lucifer himself!), Scarlatti depicts the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel with the absolute high drama that can only be provided by the Roman Baroque theatrical style and Scarlatti’s intense harmonic language.

“If Bach says that we should “Sing to the Lord a new song” that’s exactly what the Chorale will do—sing a world premiere work by Zanaida Robles titled, The Song of Significance. Similarly, when Bach suggests "Have no fear, I am with you,” we are asked to have faith, to believe in something that we feel in our hearts, just as Margaret Bonds uses W.E.B. DuBois’ poem Credo to share her beliefs. We are excited to be featuring guest artist, pianist Lara Downes on Credo and also Spiritual Suite, which is Bonds’ magnum opus for piano with each movement based on a traditional Negro spiritual connecting hints of blues, jazz, and gospel with the classical styles of Romanticism and Impressionism. Collectively, the program is an evening filled with music with great strength of purpose in every phrase and note.”
