Marriner Centenary Plus

A PROGRAM BY the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra on Easter weekend commemorates the centenary of Sir Neville Marriner, its first music director from 1969 to 1978. Pergolesi’s transcendent Stabat Mater features soprano Amanda Forsythe and countertenor John Holiday, a finalist on Season 19 of NBC’s “The Voice.” A suite from Bach’s Easter Oratorio opens the concert, which is led by its music director now, Jaime Martín; it closes with Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor. Performances take place Mar. 30 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale and March 31 at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. The ensemble’s Baroque series concludes with Italian masterworks led by concertmaster and chamber music director Margaret Batjer. Events including Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto in D minor with South Korean guitar soloist Jiji are slated for May 4 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills and May 5 at The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall in San Marino. 213.221.3920, laco.org
