Getting in the mood and filled with the holiday spirit has never been easier than attending our annual holiday concert. This year’s concert is focused on what brings us together in the season: joy, peace, family, pride, and love, blended with some holiday favorites. And of course, no holiday concert would be the same without our annual Handel’s Messiah Hallelujah Chorus sing-a-long!

Our holiday concert comes just in time for you to kick off the holiday season! Like many past years, our concert will enable an audience member (one per concert) a chance to win $300 in our fun and easy Heads ‘n’ Tails Raffle!

We had a great time join in with the the Gay Freedom Band of Los Angeles’ 40th Anniversary Concert Sunday, October 21st! We were excited to add our voices and perform Eric Whitacre’s beautiful composition, ‘Sleep.’ If you are not familiar with the piece it is wonderful, and the director of the Gay Freedom Band, Justin Raines, was great and dedicated the performance to all the members of the band who have passed on. We were very happy to be invited and included.

The concert featured:

• Justin Raines, GFBLA Artistic Director
• Jadine Louie, Guest Conductor
• Bill Masonheimer, Guest Conductor
• and more!

West Coast Singers has a special connection with the GFBLA as we actually stemmed from the band 35 years ago on October 31, 1983. A handful of members that had been singing with the Freedom Band officially broke off to start the chorus. Now West Coast Singers is the third oldest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, mixed-voice chorus in the nation. It is hard nowadays to understand, but in the early 1980s it was a difficult time to be gay, let alone out and gay. The original intent was to provide a safe place for lesbian and gay people to come together and sing. The gay mens chorus (GMCLA) had been around for almost five years but there were no mixed choruses and truthfully, there were not many things that gays and lesbians did together back then, so the West Coast Singers were founded. We enjoyed singing in this beautiful Gothic/Cathedral-style building with amazing traditional acoustics.

Auditions are open for all voice parts! Interested singers should have some choral experience, be able to maintain/match pitch, willing to attend and work in weekly rehearsals, able to practice on your own when needed (downloadable rehearsal CDs are available), and be open to having a fun time. Are you an alumni? Come back and be a part of our exciting 35th year!

Auditions will be held on Monday, August 27, 2018, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM. We can make special arrangements if that night does not work with your schedule–just ask.
