Pueri Cantores is an international Catholic choral organization that provides opportunities for school aged youth choirs from all backgrounds to participate in liturgical music. Children will gain an appreciation of Plainchant, Renaissance, Baroque, Romantic, and Modern liturgical music set within the rich tradition of the Catholic Church. Pueri Cantores aims to enhance the lives of young singers through this musical experience conducted within a nurturing environment. Participation in Pueri Cantores can be a formational and transformational experience through the Liturgy for both choristers and conductors. Young people of all faiths and beliefs are welcomed. Opportunities to travel are part of Pueri Cantores. We promote both religious and non-religious choral festivals in concert halls and cathedrals throughout the United States and Europe, in which all participants are invited to join. Local choirs all learn the same repertoire, so that festival concerts feature a large chorus of young people who sing together as one. Choristers often remember these events for their entire lives, and our goal of concert tours with integrity is an enriching life experience for everyone. Pueri Cantores is a volunteer-run organization, and most directors and conductors are lay people. The annual Pueri Cantores membership fee is minimal, only $75 per choir. The cost to attend regional choral festivals is $50 per choir. Travel is optional. Although travel expenses are paid by the individual, we work hard to keep costs to a minimum so that as many children as possible may participate. Attracting professional choral directors to instill those values and goals embraced by the organization

The Orange County Musicians' Association, a non-profit organization, has been representing professional musicians in the area since 1923. From the Disneyland Band to the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, our members provide the highest quality musicianship to the audiences of Orange County. Our membership of approximately 1000 consists of instrumentalists and vocalists who perform live and in recording studios locally and internationally. The officers and staff of Local 7 take care of the business of the music, from negotiating a collective bargaining agreement to referring a musician for a private party. We administer contracts for live and recorded performances, as well as provide the musicians with career guidance and benefits such as pension and medical insurance. By working together, the musicians and the administrators are able to attain such goals as only a team of professionals can.
