“America’s Got Talent’s” Golden Buzzer-winning vocal sensation and Los Angeles’ premier community choir Angel City Chorale announced their 29th annual holiday concert, “The More the Merrier,” at UCLA’s Royce Hall. The concert will take place on Saturday, Dec. 3 and Sunday, Dec. 4 with a selection of beautiful and celebratory numbers, led by artistic director, Sue Fink, that are sure to bring joy to the heart of even the most diehard Grinch.
Accompanied by the ACC orchestra, Fink leads the 160-voice ensemble as they sing perennial favorites wrapped in shiny new arrangements, like the beloved “Carol of the Bells,” the English carol “Wassail” and a stunning Native Peoples-inspired arrangement of “The Huron Carol,” as well as gospel renditions of “Go Tell It on the Mountain” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Chanukah celebrators will love the traditional “Mi Y’malel” and the hilarious and rousing “Chanukah in Santa Monica.”
“We are on a mission to bring the ‘merry’ back into our holidays with more togetherness, more fun, more hope and more joy with this festive family friendly concert event,” Fink said. “This year we have a lot to celebrate as the Angel City Chorale heads into our 30th year together.”
The Angel City Youth Chorale, in partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, Venice and Burbank along with the Walgrove School, will perform their own songs, “Let There Be Peace and Happy Holidays,” a message of more goodwill through the eyes of the next generation.
The concert will take place on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 4 at 3 p.m. at UCLA’s Royce Hall. The Sunday afternoon performance will also be live streamed. Tickets are available from $25 – $110; to purchase tickets and donate to Angel City Chorale’s “The More the Merrier,” visit angelcitychorale.org/merrier or roycehall.org.
