Los Angeles Chamber Choir is dedicated to the very highest quality of music performance and community outreach programs for the people of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.



The purpose of the choir is to promote the joy of choral music in our community by offering seasonal concerts and charitable performances that educate and entertain children and adults in the Los Angeles area.

We also believe that outstanding choral performance need not be limited to the formal concert hall, but should be available to everyone. Thus, we actively seek performance venues accessible to individuals who have the tendency to be overlooked by the performing arts community.

Every member of Los Angeles Chamber Choir adheres to the purpose and strives to achieve community services via music.
