Our Spring repertoire is inspired by the joys and wonders of children and holds a warm place in our hearts—in March, our Music Director and his wife welcomed twins into their family. This performance will feature four pieces in foreign languages, including Bó na Leathadhairce by Desmond Earley, which highlights a tune learned by Irish school children, and Hela Rotan, an arrangement of a popular Indonesian folk song by Ken Stevens about the traditional game of tug-of-war. KidSong, by Stephen Caldwell, incorporates the entertaining arrangement of several favorite children’s songs into one cohesive piece that our audiences will surely recognize. Save the dates! 4/16 3:00 pm Desert Skies UMC 4/21 7:30 pm St Mark Catholic Church 4/23 3:00 pm Christ Church UMC
The Arizona Repertory Singers thanks the greater Tucson community for its support of the “Women in Winter” performances. We were thrilled to share this beautiful music with such large and enthusiastic audiences!

Coming in April The Spring 2022 concerts will feature repertoire that emphasizes the importance of preserving our planet by slowing the effects of climate change – which affects not only all of us, but nature and animals as well. ARS will highlight this issue for our listeners with music that includes Emerald Stream by Seth Houston and Estonian composer Uno Naissoo’s Metsa Telegramm.
Following the success of our first-ever virtual holiday concert, the Arizona Repertory Singers announces our next virtual concert – I Can See the Light, available on April 30, 2021.
Our journey takes us from Eliza Gilkyson’s “Requiem” – a song of grief composed after the Asian Tsunami in 2004 – to Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning.” This music reaffirms that light will shine through the darkness once again.
Along the way, we revel in the beauty of our Earth and the quiet space of faith as expressed by Conor Koppin in” When Music Sounds.” A trio of love songs provides another lens through which to explore love, loss, compassion and redemption.
We also present two instrumental pieces – a vivacious piano solo by our accompanist, Trissina Kear, and a virtual guitar quartet performance by our Music Director, Ryan Phillips.
The concert link will be emailed to ticket buyers on April 30th and will be accessible through May 20, 2021.
If you purchase on April 30 through May 20, the link will be sent with your receipt.
