Shortly before the United States entered World War I, The Ebell Chorale was founded and has been making music for over 90 years. It is one of the oldest women's choirs in the country. Led by professional conductor Yu Hang Tan the chorale performs a wide range of choral music, from Baroque to modern. The Ebell Chorale meets from September through May, with a break in December. In addition, the Chorale prepares two concerts a year: a holiday concert and a Spring concert. Each program is performed at The Ebell and at several retirement homes in the vicinity. The chorale reinforces The Ebell’s emphasis on giving voice to the women of Los Angeles. Both members and non-members are invited to join.
