Through a program that conforms to California's standards for the performing arts, LACC keeps children aged 6-18 engaged in a transformative program during their critical developmental years, guiding their development into highly capable musicians while also teaching critical life skills like self-discipline, focus, the ability to collaborate and communicate with others, the pursuit of personal excellence, and perseverance to achieve their goals. LACC's program is tuition-based, but need-based financial assistance is available. 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 2013-2014 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 2013-2014 season included: Billy Budd, Carmen and Magic Flute with LA Opera; Carmina Burana with the Los Angeles Master Chorale; The Nutcracker and Pagliacci with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; Brittens War Requiem and Prodigal Son under James Conlon as a part of the Britten 100/LA Celebration; a community-wide interfaith choral concert at the rededication of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple; a celebration of opening of the Guerin Pavilion and Herscher Hall at the Skirball Center; and a world premiere cantata, True Witness, that commemorated the civil rights movement on the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. Choirs including the Harvard Glee Club, Camerata Vocale Sine Nomine and Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal did cross country and cross cultural concerts with LACC. In addition, the Concert Choir sang concerts through Germany and England and the Young Mens Ensemble was warmly received in Alaska.Background of LACC:Under Artistic Director Anne Tomlinson, Los Angeles Children's Chorus (LACC) is recognized throughout the country for its exceptional artistic quality and technical ability. 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. In 2011, Concert Choir toured the east coast and performed in New York City; Princeton, New Jersey; and Washington, DC, where it performed a July 4th concert on the Millennium Stage at the John F. 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." 1182396 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 7 0 true 31 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X BECKY SMITH 6267934231 585 E COLORADO BLVD PASADENA CA 91101 EDWARD NOWAK President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY BLODGETT Secretary 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DIANNE MAGEE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RASHMI BANSAL CHAIR NOMINAT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JANET H KWOUN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELISSA JOHNSTON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY PIESCHALA Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 VENA BENNETT LUTHEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VIRGINIA N BROOKS CHAIR COM.
