Hear our Christmas 1999 performance at Mission San Xavier

CD Cover

The Arizona Repertory Singers' first live recording CD, Christmas at San Xavier contains some of our most beloved Christmas music. Recorded in Tucson's landmark Mission San Xavier del Bac, the recording captures the essence of how the composers envisioned their great choral works. All selections on the new CD are different than those on Sweet was the Song except for Biebl's Ave Maria, which is an audience favorite.

Christmas at San Xavier is available by calling the ARS office at (520) 792-8141, or sending a check (made out to ARS) for $15 to:
The Arizona Repertory Singers
P.O. Box 41601
Tucson, AZ 85717.
They can also be purchased at any of our concerts listed in our schedule.
