2021 Gala Celebration Honorees

In addition to celebrating the great work of LACO musicians, the 2021 Gala Celebration honors LACO’s Friends from Capital Group. For decades, executives from Capital Group have served as leading philanthropists throughout Los Angeles, including membership to LACO’s Board of Directors. We are grateful for their sustained support and take pride in honoring such an esteemed group of philanthropists.

We are humbled to give special mention to past and present LACO supporters from Capital Group, namely: Lee Chu, Edith Van Huss, Thomas Kontchou, James Mulally, Eugene Ohr, and Robert Ronus.
