The L.A. Daiku was founded to bring a great Japanese tradition to America.
In the last three years the choral group has strengthened that tradition and forged personal connections through four performances of the Daiku (Beethoven Symphony No. 9) in Naruto, Japan and in Los Angeles.
They also have several performances of Fukushima Requiem in Los Angeles and in Japan, in collaboration with Japanese singers.
In June 2013, The L.A. Daiku Artistic Director Jeffrey Bernstein was honored to conduct 650 singers in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in Naruto, Japan. Forty-two ofthose singers were L.A. Daiku members.
In January 2014, The L.A. Daiku will welcome 20 singers from Japan for the performance of the Ninth in the Aratani Theater in Little Tokyo.
Jeffrey Bernstein, the Music Director of The L.A. Daiku: Our work is inspired by Schiller’s words, made famous by Beethoven “All men shall be brothers.” We invite you, our audience, to become part of our musical family.
