Admission is $15. Tickets may be purchased online at www.arsingers.org. For general information, call (520) 792-8141.
Known for its adventurous and diverse programming as much as its artistry, the 50-member choral ensemble will perform a varied mix of choral works and sacred masterpieces by some of the brightest and best composers and arrangers from the last five centuries.
ARS will also premiere an original, contemporary rendition of O magnum mysterium by Music Director Jeffry Jahn's son, Grant Jahn, a Music Composition major at the University of Arizona. Jahn's work is a modern juxtaposition of tone clusters, shimmering harmonies and alternating polyphony and homophony - in contrast to Victoria's O Magnum mysterium, performed in the first half of the concert, which features clear and sparse harmonies characteristic of Renaissance polyphony.

Enjoy a selection of Alfred Burt carols, an arrangement of a Russian folk tune by ARS Baritone, Ray Braswell, an energetic setting of In dulci jubilo and Biebl's Ave Maria – the choral piece that is most requested by ARS audiences.
The ensemble is led by the dynamic Dr. Jeffry A. Jahn, who is lauded by critics and audiences for putting together "sonic showcases that inspire a crowd and bring out the best in his singers."
Celebrating 29 years of choral performance, ARS presents two concert seasons each year (Holiday and Spring) at unique venues in Tucson and the surrounding area.
