Mission & Vision

The musicians of AZOOMA are stakeholders in Arizona Opera. We are rooted in Arizona and have a strong, proactive interest in the continued success and artistic growth of the opera in Phoenix and Tucson.

Our mission is:

To offer entertaining, live music performed at the highest artistic level

To promote and support our musician colleagues – their activities and livelihoods

To raise awareness and reach out to the community in support of the Arizona Opera and its programs

Vested interest

AZOOMA and its musicians have a strong interest in the company and its future. Singers and conductors, managers, board members and directors come and go, while some members of the orchestra remain from the early days of the company.

As one of the few professional orchestras in Arizona, we are a central part of the state’s cultural life. We live, work and have families in Arizona. In this broader sense too we are the institutional memory and tradition of Arizona Opera.
