Laguna Beach Chambers Singers (LBCS) was founded in 2008 by Christin Cornell and is conducted by Music Director Victor De La Cruz and Accompanist/Associate Conductor Ray Urwin. It was born out of a strong desire to sing classical and not-so-classical choral music with excellence and artistry.
We regard ourselves as a highly disciplined group with a positive rehearsal atmosphere combined with a good amount of humor. Our journey (rehearsing) is as important to us as our destination (performing). We are emphatically not “suffering musicians.”
Based in Laguna Beach, where weekly Monday rehearsals are held, LBCS is comprised of singers from Orange as well as Los Angeles counties. Our programs are as eclectic as our membership.
This December, LBCS will present a contemporary take on Lessons and Carols. Following the tradition established at the King's College in Cambridge over 100 years ago, LBCS will offer a modern musical retelling of the Christmas Story with works spanning centuries from the 16th century to the 21st century. Presenting works from the likes of Tavener, Howells, Vaughan Williams, and Victoria, this performance promises to offer a present day feel to a long lasting tradition.
There will be two concerts this December. First on Saturday, December 14th at 4pm, at the St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Laguna Beach, and second on Sunday, December 15th at 4pm, at the St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Corona del Mar.
