TSLC


Musical theatre has been a beloved American pastime for decades and with movie musicals making a comeback and the TV take-over that is “Glee” it was only a matter of time before LA would find its voice.
The Silver Lake Chorus or the “Glee of Silver Lake” as they are being hailed performed their first gig Friday night at El Cid. The eclectic and energetic group, who formed just a few months ago, composes and performs renditions of indie favorites. On Thursday they appeared on Good Day LA- offering an exciting and intriguing teaser of their immense talent and the crowd that gathered to watch them on Friday was a testament to their skill.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the show was in fact that sheer enjoyment so blatant on the faces of the performers. They were indulging in the passion and it was clear to everyone in the audience that not only do the singers love what they are doing, but they are great at it!
The chorus is 25 people strong all of who come from different personal and professional backgrounds, but whose love of singing brings them together. They are in the process of recording an album and collaborating with some big-name musicians (Ben Lee was one of the guest performers on Friday). It seems it’s all happening for the Silver Lake Chorus and all success is well deserved. Their creativity, talent and unbridled happiness come together in a refreshing and highly enjoyable harmony that should be checked out if only to make your take a little brighter.
