While most of the Valleys various symphony orchestras have gone on hiatus for the summer, the monthly Downtown Chamber Series manages to roll on and represent the local classical music scene despite the heat.

The Sonoran Brass features horn player Nathan Mitchell, trumpeters Joshua Whitehouse and John Marchiando, trombonist Richard Bass, and Chuck Kerrigan on tuba.
