The Los Angeles Master Chorale will perform five festive Christmas concerts in Walt Disney Concert Hall in December, beginning with the new “English Cathedral Christmas” program on Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. that will showcase the tradition of British carols and anthems with works by a range of composers from the 16th century to today.

The other performances include the popular Festival of Carols on Dec. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m., Handel’s “Messiah” on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. and the 38th annual Messiah Sing-Along on Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. when the 2,200-strong audience sings as the chorus.
All concerts will be conducted by Grant Gershon, the Master Chorale’s Kiki & David Gindler artistic director.
This year’s Festival of Carols will feature a cappella renditions of Christopher Willis’ “Joy! O It’s Christmas Time” and the Emmy Award-nominated “Jing-A-Ling-A-Ling” from the 2016 cartoon “Duck the Halls: A Mickey Mouse Christmas Special.”
The two performances will also feature works by Shawn Kirchner, a longtime tenor in the Master Chorale and former composer-in-residence.
Children under the age of six will not be admitted to Los Angeles Master Chorale concerts. Tickets to all concerts start at $29. The Master Chorale also offers $10 student tickets at the box office two hours prior to the performance, subject to availability.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is located at 111 S. Grand Ave.
