Now in his fourteenth year as Artistic/Musical Director of the Placer Pops Chorale, Lorin Miller brings a distinguished background as a solo performer, music educator and choral director. He currently serves on the voice faculty of William Jessup University. In addition to his work with the Chorale, Lorin serves as Executive
Musical Director and co-founder of A Gift of the Heart, a Placer County performing arts organization benefiting local charities. A California native, Lorin grew up in Grass Valley, where he developed a deep love of music. He holds an undergraduate degree and a master’s degree in Humanities, with a music performance concentration. After graduation, he produced, recorded and toured with a solo album before pursuing film scoring at UCLA. Following his successful career in Hollywood television production, Lorin returned to this area and to his love of music. Lorin has been a soloist with the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra, and he has performed nationally and internationally, throughout Europe and Asia, in a variety of styles from Bach to Broadway. This extensive solo career has included European tours with the A Gift of the Heart outreach program to Slovenia each year from 2009 through 2017, and with the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra to Vienna, Prague, Budapest and Munich in the summer of 2004. Lorin led the Placer Pops Chorale on a successful European singing tour to Barcelona, Spain, in July of 2014, following an equally rewarding four-city singing tour of Ireland in July of 2012. In June 2017, the Placer Pops Chorale did a concert tour of Slovenia, in the spectacular lower Alps. The Chorale was part of a European celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, and thoroughly enjoyed bringing a taste of America to that beautiful country.
Since its founding in 1936, Sierra College has become a cornerstone of the community, meeting the needs of those it serves by providing quality education, enriching lives and helping businesses thrive. Placer Pops Chorale is proud to have been affiliated with this distinguished academic institution since our choral group was formed in 1991. We thank Sierra College for its longtime support and for providing us with rehearsal space in the Music Building throughout the school year, as well as performance space at Dietrich Theatre in December and May.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), at Sierra College, provides a unique learning opportunity for lifelong students who are eager to explore traditional and new areas of knowledge – without the stress of tests or grades. The OLLI program offers a wide
variety of courses, all designed to keep minds and bodies active. This program is funded in part by a grant from The Bernard Osher Foundation. There are 120 OLLIs nationally, and Sierra College is one of only four community colleges to receive such a grant. Placer Pops Chorale is delighted to be affiliated with this outstanding program!
The Placer Pops Chorale, led by Artistic/Musical Director Lorin Miller, showcases professional-quality, highly entertaining choral music. This auditioned group, with its own orchestra, puts on two major concert series each year, in May and in December, along with special appearances
and benefit performances, including the annual, free A Gift of the Heart “Homeland” concert, celebrating the 4th of July. Sung entirely from memory, the Chorale’s repertoire represents a variety of styles, with a strong emphasis on the popular music of the last 75 years, including the best of Broadway and Hollywood. Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Chorale attracts talented singers of all ages to the group, and draws scores of music lovers to its dynamic concerts – often sold out weeks in advance. Under Lorin’s inspired leadership, the Chorale has become known for its varied and innovative programs. Enhanced by sparkling performance attire and creative staging, the Chorale consistently delivers a magical theater experience.
