百人合唱今晚响彻迪士尼音乐厅：洛杉矶大师合唱团首度携手韩国国家合唱团
位于美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市的华特迪士尼音乐厅，11月1日晚7时将上演一场跨太平洋的合唱之夜：洛杉矶大师合唱团（Los Angeles Master Chorale）与韩国国家合唱团（National Chorus of Korea）史上首次同台演出。洛杉矶大师合唱团派出48名团员，韩团有54名团员，两团组成逾百人的联合阵容，在「Building Bridges」（筑桥）主题下同唱两国曲目。
韩国国家合唱团成立于1973年，是韩国第一个职业合唱团，被誉为韩国的音乐大使。两团分别由艺术总监格兰特·格申（Grant Gershon）与韩团指挥闵仁基（In-Gi Min）执棒，钢琴伴奏为丽莎·爱德华兹（Lisa Edwards）。当晚6时，KUSC电台主持人珍妮弗·米勒·哈梅尔将与两位指挥举行演前讲座。
曲目上，两团先各自献唱本国作品，再互唱对方语言的歌曲：韩团将演唱尹学俊《山杜鹃》、李建镕《鸟打令》，以及美国灵歌《耶利哥之战》和惠特克的《金色之光》；洛杉矶大师合唱团除美国民谣与灵歌外，还将以韩语演唱多首韩国合唱作品。终场由两团联合演唱科普兰《生活的承诺》与吴孝元编曲的《阿里郎》。门票信息见迪士尼音乐厅与合唱团官网。
本乐季是格申担任洛杉矶大师合唱团艺术总监的第25个乐季。今年12月，该团还将与洛杉矶爱乐合作演出韩德尔《弥赛亚》。

100 Voices at Disney Hall Tonight: Los Angeles Master Chorale Joins the National Chorus of Korea for the First Time
The Los Angeles Master Chorale and the National Chorus of Korea will share a stage for the first time in their histories on November 1 at 7 p.m. at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Forty-eight Master Chorale singers and 54 singers from Korea will form a combined chorus of more than 100 voices for the concert, titled 'Building Bridges.'
Founded in 1973, the National Chorus of Korea was the country's first professional chorus and serves as its musical ambassador. Master Chorale Artistic Director Grant Gershon and the Korean chorus's conductor, In-Gi Min, will lead the performance, with pianist Lisa Edwards. A pre-concert talk with both conductors, hosted by KUSC's Jennifer Miller Hammel, begins at 6 p.m.
Each chorus will sing music from its own country and then perform in the other's language: the Korean chorus sings works by Hak-Jun Yoon and Geon-Yong Lee alongside the American spiritual 'The Battle of Jericho' and Eric Whitacre's 'Lux Aurumque,' while the Master Chorale answers with American folk songs and spirituals and several Korean works sung in Korean. The evening closes with both choruses together in Copland's 'The Promise of Living' and Hyowon Woo's arrangement of 'Arirang.' Ticket information is available from Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Master Chorale.
This season marks Gershon's 25th as the Master Chorale's artistic director. In December the chorus joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic for Handel's 'Messiah.'
