Christmas at Assisi 2006

Christmas with Choral Arts Ensemble 2006 is the live concert recording of our 2006 Christmas with Choral Arts Ensemble concert, a perennial favorite of Rochester concert-goers. Included on the cd is the Honors Concert Choir, which was the guest performer this year. This high school aged mixed voice choir sings its own set, as well as joining with Choral Arts Ensemble for the finale. Guest instrumentalists are Jay Johnson on percussion and Allen Bishop on oboe.

This cd is no longer available.
