Jeff Harris, who founded the Sonoran Desert Chorale a quarter century ago, is retiring. The Chorale will give the last concerts of its 2018-2019 season this weekend and the City of Mesa has made Saturday, May 4th, Sonoran Desert Chorale Day. Sterling Beeaff sat down with Jeff Harris recently to talk about his idea to bring the east valley together with music.

The performances are Saturday May 4th at 7:30PM at First United Methodist Church in Mesa and Saturday May 5th at 3PM at La Casa de Cristo Church in Scottsdale. For more information visit https://sonorandesertchorale.org/events/
