ProMusica Arizona Chorale and Orchestra
PMAZ is an auditioned, volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit group of 120 musicians from throughout the north valley dedicated to bringing music to the community.

All rehearsals are held at Boulder Creek High School. To address the reduction in music programming in our schools, new children's divisions are in the process of being formed in Spring 2010. A youth instrumental ensemble and a children's chorus will begin rehearsing on Mondays throughout the school year.
