[ OUR PERSONNEL ]
 Arizona Opera Orchestra
Musicians from the Arizona Opera Orchestra are a diverse community of
highly trained music professionals. Members of AZOOMA frequently present concerts throughout Arizona (in
addition to performance activities with the opera).
Among these concerts
are solo and chamber recitals, symphony concerts, and outreach programs.
Our members also dedicate themselves to education in both public and
private arenas: to school children, in private music lessons, and to
students in Arizona's state universities and community colleges.
