In 2013-2014 LACC served more than 400 young people from 50+ communities throughout greater Los Angeles and reflected in its membership the cultural and economic diversity of the region.In 2014-2015 LACC fostered the choristers musical learning and showcased their artistry through a busy season of retreats, rehearsals, vocal coaching and musicianship classes, as well as self-produced concerts and collaborative performances for the community. In addition to LACCs own Winter and Spring Concerts, highlights of LACCs 2014-2015 season included Beethovens Missa Solemnis and Unsuk Chins Alice in Wonderland as well as the Opening Night Gala with the LA Phil; Bachs St. Matthew Passion with the Los Angeles Master Chorale; Onstage/Backstage: A PBS SoCal Holiday Celebration; the 55th Annual LA County Holiday Celebration; the Holiday Candlelight Concert with the Pasadena Symphony; Winter Dreams with Jacaranda; the Loren L.

Founded in 1986, LACC performs frequently with leading music ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Calder Quartet, and Pasadena Symphony and POPS. LACC also assists LA Opera by training and providing children for its opera productions that require children's chorus or child soloists.LACC has toured Africa, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Scandinavia, and many parts of the United States.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Kennedy Center President Michael Kaiser stated: "Every once in a while I have an arts experience that catches me by surprise and reminds me about the power and beauty of the arts. Watching [the LACC] chorus of young voices was riveting. Not just because of the youngsters' technical proficiency, which was substantial, but for the seriousness with which they took their work. It was astonishing. These children are simply the best." 1106000 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 30 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X BECKY SMITH 6267934231 585 E COLORADO BLVD PASADENA CA 91101 DANIEL HONG Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD NOWAK President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY BLODGETT Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DIANNE MAGEE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RASHMI BANSAL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINA N BROOKS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHERYL R SCHEIDEMANTLE PHD V CHAIR OF DEV. 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JANET H KWOUN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KAI RYSSDAL Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY PIESCHALA Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 VENA BENNETT LUTHEY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA N BROOKS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN SUNSHINE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL B JORGENSEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREA GREEN WILLARD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER SLISKOVICH CHAIR GALA 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER C TERRY Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 REBECCA SMITH BUSINESS MANG. 40.00 0.00 X 48995 0 0 ANNE TOMLINSON ARTISTIC DIR. 40.00 0.00 X 103846 0 13030 DEBORAH LEWIS Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X 74038 0 4393 226879 17423 1 false false false 0 151382 10300 341989 503671 TUITION/ADMISSION FEES 711130 950961 950961 950961 73 73 0 0 0 26876 26876 0 170783 151382 78892 91891 91891 0 10325 6450 3875 3875 0 1550471 950961 95839 0 0 0 0 283868 180540 63100 40228 0 499641 343577 43356 112708 0 42065 28605 4838 8622 65557 44448 8588 12521 0 0 0 22649 22649 0 0 0 0 15324 10389 2007 2928 0 0 67848 46001 8888 12959 0 0 0 2406 1632 315 459 0 14468 9809 1895 2764 13210 8956 1731 2523 CHOIR TOUR COSTS 295763 295763 DEVELOPMENT 38097 38097 MARKETING 34625 34625 CHOIR PRODUCTION COSTS 31590 31590 104328 70065 25205 9058 1531439 1106000 182572 242867 229533 90838 302573 411203 77110 106925 4052 5985 0 0 0 0 12400 5319 230279 165361 49519 64918 0 0 0 0 0 675187 685188 50168 40652 59548 43883 31576 47726 141292 132261 X 336917 309706 170451 216694 26527 26527 533895 552927 675187 685188 19032 X false true X true false X 291447 389610 469613 697744 503671 2352085 0 0 291447 389610 469613 697744 503671 2352085 821909 1530176 106 31 14 30 73 254 0 0 2352339 0.65050 0.65750 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 230279 165361 64918 64918 CAPITAL LEASE 47726 47726 1550471 1550471 1550471 1531439 1531439 1531439 false ANNUAL BANQUET EVENT 268498 147894 120604 55171 2030 POINSETIA SALE 53667 3488 50179 21691 322165 151382 170783 55171 2030 21691 78892 91891 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WILL EMAIL COPY OF 990 TO BOARD MEMBERS FOR REVIEW BEFORE FILING.
