Jeff joins DV’s current staff – Chris Tackett (Artistic Director), Alex Tentser (Accompanist), Becky Cohen (Office manager and Chorus Goddess), and the many volunteers who make Desert Voices the exciting chorus that it is. Desert Voices, almost 50 members strong this year, invites the Tucson Community to join them for their concerts, December 6th and 7th, featuring guest star, Namoli Brennet.
