Artistic Director Eliza Rubenstein joined the Long Beach Chorale in 2003. Eliza studied conducting at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the University of California-Irvine. Besides her work with the LBC, she is the Director of Choral and Vocal Activities at Orange Coast College, the Artistic Director of the Orange County Women's Chorus, and the chamber-choir director at Mesa Verde United Methodist Church. Besides music, she's passionate about animals (especially dogs), vegan food, and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Accompanist Bob Gunn also joined the LBC in 2003, bringing with him more than 20 years of experience as a pianist, director, arranger, and composer. Bob is also the principal accompanist and assistant director of Men Alive: The Orange County Gay Men's Chorus. He was the featured soloist in the LBCCO's April 2006 performances of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor.

Our singers come from Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Orange County, and include members of every age group and profession — college students, grandparents, teachers, nurses, artists, and attorneys, to name a few! All are volunteers who donate their time and energy to bring great music to the Long Beach community.
