ANGEL CITY CHORALE<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing like a chorale concert to replace the sounds of crackling flames and high winds that continue to play in the head. And three local chorale concerts are coming up in the next couple of weekends. Each has some Palisadians or Palisades connections.<\/p>\n

In chronological order \u2026<\/p>\n

Angel City Chorale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, Dec. 6 \u2013 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Sunday, Dec. 7 \u2013 3 p.m.\u00a0\u2013 Livestream available for Sunday\u2019s in-person concert<\/p>\n

Calling their concert Blockbuster Holiday<\/em>, the Angel City Chorale is pulling its playlist from holiday movies. The 180-voice choir will be singing songs from classic films like Meet Me in St. Louis<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Holiday Inn<\/em>\u00a0to more recent movies, like Love, Actually, Home<\/em>\u00a0Alone, The Polar Express<\/em> and more. Though the ACC\u2019s spring concert was at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, they\u2019re returning to their Royce Hall home on the UCLA campus for this weekend\u2019s two performances: Saturday evening Dec. 6 and Sunday afternoon, Dec. 7. There\u2019s an option to watch a livestream of the Dec. 7 performance. It will be available for viewing through January 11. RSVPs for the livestream are required in advance at the link above.<\/p>\n

This concert on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 4 p.m. begins with the augmented church choir of guest adult singers and children performing Arthur Honegger\u2019s unusual Une<\/em> Cantate de<\/em> No\u00ebl<\/em> or Christmas Cantata<\/em>. With music to match, this piece tells of a dark world. The musical imagery lightens up and swells with the story of Jesus\u2019 birth. Following the Christmas Cantata<\/em> the choir sings a variety of carols. Some are well-known. Some, the audience can sing along with. Other carols, the audience might be hearing for the first time.<\/p>\n

BRENTWOOD PALISADES CHORALE AND PALISADES SYMPHONY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sunday, Dec. 14 \u2013 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

At Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, 1343 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica<\/p>\n

Free \u2013 Tickets are not needed. Donations are welcome.<\/p>\n

Since the Brentwood Palisades Chorale\u2019s long-time performance venue \u2013 Community United Methodist Church on Via De La Paz in Pacific Palisades \u2013 burned down in the January fire, the singers now could be described as wandering musicians. Their concert last spring was at a church in West Los Angeles. Their upcoming concert on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. is at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in the Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica. The Palisades Symphony opens this early afternoon concert, performing the Overture to Antonin Dvorak\u2019s joyous Carnival<\/em>. Then the orchestra joins the chorale for Ernest Bloch\u2019s Avodath<\/em> Hakodesh<\/em> or Sacred<\/em> Service<\/em>. This is a musical version of the Jewish Saturday morning Sabbath service. The chorale sings it in Hebrew. The English translation will be in the concert\u2019s printed program. Though this piece doesn\u2019t particularly connect to Chanukah, it\u2019s a way to welcome the holiday, which begins at sundown on Dec. 14, shortly after the concert ends.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
