notes
Founded in 1993 in Santa Monica, California with only 18 singers, the Angel City Chorale has grown to 100 members and hosts its own concert series in Los Angeles.
Angel City Chorale served as the official choir for the 2000 Democratic National Convention at Staples Center, singing with Stevie Wonder, Diane Schuur, Luther Vandross and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
The choir's Chamber Ensemble has recorded three CD's for Megatrax, to be used in television promos for the Olympics and the holidays, and for drama programs.
Other Los Angeles appearances include the PeopleSoft convention at the L.A. Convention Center and performances at the Conga Room, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the John Anson Ford Theatre, UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, the Peter Strauss Ranch, and the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest.
The Director Sue Fink is the choir's founder, artistic director, and conductor.
Her dynamic energy can be seen and felt in the unique spirit and spontaneity that distinguish this choir from other choral groups.
Sue graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles, where she studied conducting with Roger Wagner.
She toured internationally as a member of the Roger Wagner Chorale, and went on to establish the Oriana Renaissance Ensemble and the Los Angeles Women's Community Chorus, serving as conductor for both groups.
In addition to maintaining a private voice studio in Los Angeles, she composes and arranges for choral organizations and writes for television and movie soundtracks, as well as compositions and arrangements for many choral organizations.
As a singer-songwriter, Sue has released two critically acclaimed albums, one of which received an award of excellence from the National Association of Independent Record Distributors (NAIRD.)

Uplifting!
author: Pat CowlesThis CD was given to me by Ruth Simonsen, and I have played it over and over. The music is wonderful, varied and both inspired and inspring. Thank you for this gift of such beautiful music in the world.
Absolutely Fabulous!
author: Ruth SimonsonIf you love choral music, this CD should be in your library. It is beautifully directed and the selections performed are all very inspiring. The talent of the singers, the accompianists and soloists is the very best. At this time in our country, this music is very comforting and hopeful.
