About this user
On January 15, 1994 a group of diverse community members were brought together by Jeff Harris
with the hope of realizing his dream of forming a premier community choir in the Phoenix
Metropolitan area. That day they founded the Sonoran Desert Chorale.The energy and excitement of
the people at the meeting made it possible to complete all the technical groundwork, incorporation,
fundraising, budget and auditions within the first 6 months. Their hard work and dedication came to
fruition on October 29, 1994 with our inaugural concert.
The Chorale has continued to evolve from that first emotional and satisfying concert to a highly
regarded and artistically sophisticated choral organization. Our audiences have experienced
traditions spanning time from the ancient folk music of Mongolia to the premier of modern
compositions such as Prelude to Glory by Russell Wilson. The Chorale performs a repertoire meant to
demonstrate that music is a language which transcends our differences and accentuates our
commonality.
