I tune, you tune, and so does Grant Gershon. Nobody does it better than the Music Director of the LA Master Chorale. When it comes to his music-of-the-moment, Grant’s the ultimate mix-master.

Eavesdrop on faves from the Gershon eclectic mix. Tune in to some mighty persuasive reasons why the Los Angeles Times describes him as “an invigorating, inventive and enormously gifted young conductor.”

In Grant Gershon, we have a conductor, pianist, vocal coach, vocalist and just plain music lover whose tastes run from Renaissance masses to Broadway show tunes with intriguing detours to Asia and South America. He has a soft spot for “chestnuts” and no day is complete without some jazz.

Works that are worlds apart. Juxtapositions of widely divergent musical styles and idioms. From tried and true repertoire to cutting-edge composers. Pushing boundaries and moving freely between musical worlds works just fine for the Chorale’s Music Director, whose piano licks are as good as his conducting chops in staged performances, recordings and film scores.
