Los Robles Master Chorale Brings Its 'Enduring Spirits' to Agoura Hills

Los Robles Master Chorale caps its 35th anniversary season with the first of two concerts at the Agoura Hills Performing Arts Education Center.

Entitled Enduring Spirits, the program will feature the acclaimed regional choir performing classic works by Mahler, Bruckner and Britten, along with contemporary offerings by Eric Whitacre, Michael McGlynn, Alberto Grau and Marcos Leite. The concert, under the direction of Artistic Director Lesley Leighton, will take place Sunday, May 5 at 7 p.m.            

“We are excited to be in our new performance space for its state-of-the-art facilities, wonderful acoustics and central location,” says Leighton. “It is also terrific that we have more seats for our growing audience and extra room on the stage for our chorus, which will be more than 100 next season! We're hoping to forge an ongoing partnership with the Agoura PAEC as a home for Los Robles Master Chorale.”

There will be a pre-concert conversation beginning at 6 p.m., which is free to all concert-goers. The discussion will offer background information about the music.     

Tickets are $22 for adults, $18 for students/seniors. To purchase tickets visit www.losroblesmasterchorale.org. For further information call 805/526-SING (7464).

The 100-voice choir will return to the PAEC June 9 for a special performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana.
