Mountainside Master Chorale, CA

The Mountainside Master Chorale was founded in 1994 by Bruce Rogers. Since its inception, the Chorale has grown steadily in both membership and acclaim, drawing members from Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties to rehearse and perform in our foothill venues. Besides offering a regular concert series each year (December, spring and early summer), the Chorale is invited each year to perform at the Forest Lawn Winter Candle Lighting Ceremony and Easter Sunrise Service. 

The Mountainside Master Chorale has sung at various festivals throughout Southern California and internationally. Since 2022, Matthew Miles has led the Chorale as Artistic Director. He has provided the Chorale with unique and high-level musical qualities, expanding repertoire, musicality, and audience appeal with a wide variety of choral offerings each season, including major works with orchestra, a cappella motets, folk songs, spirituals, jazz, Broadway show tunes, and also featuring contemporary composers with new works. 

Since 2014, the Chorale has been the recipient of generous grants from the LA County Arts Commission, and most recently from the California Relief Grant Program and the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program for Nonprofit Cultural Institutions.
