Tucson, Arizona--Pima Community College Chorale & College Singers, under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Ng, present​​ a winter concert featuring the Chorale singing folk song "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair," arr. by Norman Luboff; Disney favorite "When You Wish Upon a Star," arr. by Roy Ringwald; and choral selections from "My Fair Lady," arr. by Andy Beck. 

 

College Singers present a group of madrigals and a motet, from the Renaissance period, by British composer Thomas Morley including "My Bonny Lass She Smileth," "Agnus Dei" (Lamb of God) and "Sing We and Chant It."
