2019 Holiday Concerts: Rejoice and Be Merry!
ARS returns to its choral roots with traditional holiday repertoire and exciting arrangements to
entice the ear. Hark! In 7/8 by Steven Landau and Bring Us In Good Ale by Gustav Holst will usher in your holiday alongside stunningly beautiful works by Francis Poulenc, John Rutter, Ola Gjeilo, and newcomer Connor Koppin.
Here’s what audiences are saying:
“I loved the variety of beautiful selections.”
“Uplifting, and I love the information the Music Director gave about each piece.”
“Loved the gorgeous harmonies and interesting arrangements by ’new’ composers.”
