Mission San Xavier del Bac: “The White Dove of the Desert”
If you haven’t experienced this wonderful architectural and cultural masterpiece of Tucson in awhile or never at all, this is a terrific time of year to make the short trip down I-19. My men’s Choir, The Sons of Orpheus has the privilege to perform six, annual Christmas Concerts with the Tucson Boys Choir and soloists from the U of A to raise money to restore the Mission. Every year we perform there the we see the magnificent restoration process taking place. I’ve been told by concert go’ers that this concert is the real beginning of their Holiday Season. I’ve never sung in a venue that was so beautiful or acoustically perfect as this. It’s a very special place.
Here are a couple of pictures showing the “magic” that took place on tuesday evening, 12/8/09; both outside and in.
