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 offers a comprehensive, after-school choral music training program involving rehearsals, musicianship classes, vocal coaching, and performances. Through a program that conforms to California's standards for the performing arts, LACC keeps children age 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, and perseverance to achieve their goals. LACC serves more than 375 young people each year from 50+ communities throughout greater Los Angeles and reflects in its membership the cultural and economic diversity of the region. LACC's program is tuition-based, but need-based financial assistance is available.LACC has toured Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Scandinavia, and many parts of the United States. In 2008, Concert Choir performed at the China International Arts Celebration for Young People during its tour to China prior to the Beijing summer Olympics. In 2011, Concert Choir toured the east coast and performed in New York City; Princeton, New Jersey; and Washington, D.C.. 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."LACC's 2011-12 season featured a number of high profile collaborations, including with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Philip Glass Ensemble at the Hollywood Bowl in a performance of Glass' Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation, from the soundtrack of the 1988 sequel of the documentary film Powaqqatsi. LACC appeared with the Simn Bolvar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela in the LA Philharmonic's epic The Mahler Project: Mahler 3, as well as on the LA Phil's much heralded companion concert, The Mahler Project: Mahler 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand"), both conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. In collaboration with the American Youth Symphony, LACC co-commissioned and premiered The isle is full of noises by Icelandic composer Danel Bjarnason and conducted by James Conlon at Walt Disney Concert Hall. LACC made its fourth guest appearance with the Pasadena Symphony and POPS, its third with Jacaranda, and LACC members were featured in LA Opera's production of Puccini's La Bohme. In addition, LACC presented the Australian Girls Choir, Phoenix Boys Choir, and San Francisco's Ragazzi Boys Choir; its annual Winter and Spring concerts; and numerous activities for the community through its Community Connections series. Two professional enrichment offerings were held for children's choral music teachers, including a Treble Master Class with guest clinician Dr. Angela Broeker, and a two-day workshop, "SING! With Young Children." The season culminated with the Young Men's Ensemble's tour to the Midwest and Concert Choir's first tour to South Africa, which included performances at the internationally-renowned National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.LACC produced a commissioned world-premiere opera, Keepers of the Night (2007), by composer Peter Ash and librettist Donald Sturrock; appears on Amore Infinito ("Infinite Love"), a Deutsche Grammophon release of songs based on poems by the late Pope John Paul II and performed by Plcido Domingo (released worldwide in March 2009); and A Good Understanding, the Los Angeles Master Chorale's 2010 recording of Nico Muhly on Decca. LACC is featured in the 2002 Academy Award-nominated documentary, Sing!, and sequel documentaries, Sing Opera! (2008) and Sing China! (2009), by award-winning filmmakers Freida Lee Mock and Jessica Sanders. Sing! chronicles a year in the life of the Chorus and is shown periodically on PBS stations nationwide.
