About This Cause
The Angeles Chorale is a 65-voice, auditioned, professional-level, volunteer choir based in Los Angeles, CA. Now in its 50th season, the Chorale continues to bring inspiring choral music experiences to our Los Angeles community. The Angeles Chorale was founded by Bill and Ada Beth Lee in 1975 as the Valley Master Chorale under Bill Lee's artistic direction. The Chorale merged with the Masterworks Chorale from Cal State Northridge in 1987 and performed under the baton of John Alexander for nine years. The name was changed to the Angeles Chorale during Mr. Alexander's tenure. Upon his departure, Donald Neuen, Director of Choral Activities at UCLA, stepped to the podium and led the organization for the next thirteen years, focusing on classical masterworks for chorus and orchestra. Following Don Neuen’s tenure, John Sutton served as the Chorale’s Artistic Director, also for thirteen seasons. Lesly Leighton was appointed as the Chorale’s Artistic Director starting in Season 51. The Angeles Chorale has performed with many fine orchestras and choral ensembles including the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Long Beach Symphony, Pasadena Symphony, the American Youth Symphony, and the Burbank Philharmonic Orchestra, among others. For several years, the Angeles Chorale has worked with Immediate Music, Megatrax, and Two Steps from Hell, leasing libraries for movie previews and television commercials. Chorale voices can be heard in many Hollywood movie trailers, including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Tangled, Meet the Parents: Little Fockers, and Prince of Persia.
