SINGERS
Pasadena Pro Musica is a group of singers who live in and around the Pasadena area and are united in a shared passion for classical choral music and the sheer joy of making music together. We come from many walks of life: We are JPL engineers, Caltech researchers, journalists, homemakers, physicians, retirees, designers, students and, yes, some professional musicians. Founded in 1964, we have been singing and performing ever since, and are now once again headquartered at the Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Church, our long-time choral home.
