The Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus will present its annual Holiday Concert on Saturday, December 16 at 3:00pm and 7:30pm at the UA School of Music Crowder Hall. Under the direction of Julian Ackerley, assisted by Jordan M. Shomper, and accompanied by a small orchestral ensemble, the choristers will perform music of the season including Christmas carols, sacred songs, and Hanukkah selections.
A distinctive feature will be the joining of the Touring Chorus with the Young Men’s Ensemble performing selected movements of the Christmas Cantata Hodie by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Other pieces on the performance include the concert opener For the Joy of the Birth, songs representing Hanukkah including Hanukkah Nigun and John Rutter’s Shepherd’s Pipe Carol. Also featured will be the beloved secular standards of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Little Saint Nick, White Christmas and the group’s signature a cappella version of Carol of the Bells.
The Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus Holiday Concert is a popular Tucson tradition that began in 1939 with a Christmas Eve concert performed by eight boys under the direction of founder Eduardo Caso. This year’s program features boys ages 6 through 21 who are members of the Touring Chorus, the TowneSingers, the Cadet Choir, the Northwest Voices and the Young Men’s Ensemble.
