KUSC & LA Master Chorale Announce 2-Year Broadcast Partnership

The Los Angeles Master Chorale – the renowned resident choir
of Walt Disney Concert Hall led by Music Director Grant Gershon –
and KUSC (91.5 FM) – one of the largest and most listened to
classical radio stations in the country – have announced a two-year
broadcast partnership in which 14 of the acclaimed choir’s Disney
Hall concerts from the 2009|10, 2010|11 and 2011|12 seasons will
air in two seven-week series, entitled “The LA Master Chorale in
Concert,” with the first series launching Sunday, December 19, 2010
and running through January 30, 2010. The second series is slated
for broadcast December 18, 2011 through January 29, 2012. The
two-hour weekly radio program, which runs from 4-6 PM, is designed
to showcase the choir’s versatility and wide-ranging repertoire.
KUSC broadcasts of the Los Angeles Master Chorale are supported, in
part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the
Los Angeles County Arts Commission.

“We are thrilled to be able to showcase the glorious sound and
exceptional repertoire of the LA Master Chorale on KUSC’s
airwaves,” says KUSC Program Director Gail Eichenthal. “The choir
plays a unique role in L.A.’s musical community and beyond, and its
splendid ‘voice’ will greatly enhance our broadcast
schedule.
