ABOUT
HV MUSIC is a non-profit community choir, orchestra, and jazz ensemble, that strives to elevate the Heber Valley through music. The choir and orchestra started in 2014 by Newell Bullen and was originally called "Paradise Land Music.” In 2015, the name was changed to "Heber Valley Choir and Orchestra" to reflect the deep love of the beautiful surroundings.
In 2018 we incorporated Timpanogos Valley Orchestra, which had been performing The Messiah since 2008, and playing pit orchestra for TVT under the direction of Heather Thaxton since 2006.
In 2019 we changed the non-profit organization to Heber Valley Music and added the Jazz Ensemble.
MISSION STATEMENT:
Provide high quality musical performing groups for musicians to increase their skills and make connections through their shared love of music. Build relationships by providing diverse educational experiences for children to adults.
Inspire community with an appreciation of music for all generations.
HVCO is a registered
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
