The Los Angeles Master Chorale adds warm musical cheer to the holiday season with “Rejoice! Ceremony of Carols,” featuring Music Director Grant Gershon conducting four seasonal classics — Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols; Respighi’s beautiful Laud to the Nativity, filled with the rich imagery of the nativity story; Stephen Paulus’ Christmas Dances; and selections from Vaughan Williams’ Nine Carols for Men’s Voices — on Sunday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m. at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Gershon and KUSC Host Alan Chapman participate in ListenUp!, the pre-concert talk at 6 p.m., free to ticket holders.
