Jim Raycroft
Jay Kenton / Carol Worthey / Robert Olson

This year, Los Angeles Master Chorale member Jim Raycroft, presented and presided over the well attended 6th Annual "A Choral Taste of Los Angeles". Once again with endearing warmth and dedication he introduced each composer and, for the first time, presented some of his own work.

This year's presenting composers were Michael Isaacson, Morgan Ames, Robert Parker, Paul Cummings, Jim Raycroft, Shawn Kirchner, Robert Olson and Jay Kenton.

Shawn Kirchner with his fantastic sightreading (and who is also accompanist for the LA Master Chorale) provided piano accompaniment for the sightsinging.

We support Jim's efforts and encourage all greater Los Angeles based singers and choral directors to back up his excellent work for next year's songfest. Participants sight sing through new, often challenging, works presented by the composers themselves and usually get to keep copies as well. The gourmet lunch, presented by chef David Larson is always a hit following the heady morning of sight-singing in preparation for the afternoon session.
