THE Pacific Chorale has the highest rating of any music organisation in Orange County, California. It is also among the elite few funded by America's National Endowment for the Arts.
To appreciate why, head for the Cultural Centre Concert Hall tomorrow night when the 140-strong choir, accompanied by the Hongkong Sinfonietta, will perform Mendelssohn's monumental oratorio Elijah.
Leading all will be the Pacific Chorale's artistic director John Alexander who has conducted more than 100 choral/orchestral works for Orange County and is in regular demand as a guest conductor worldwide.
Principal singers will be Margaret Morrison (soprano) Adelaide Sinclair (mezzo), Beau Palmer (tenor) Richard Taylor (baritone) and Anthony Kalamos (treble).
