Enrichment Opportunities:
ACDA NextDirection Choral Leadership Conferences
The NextDirection choral leadership conference is an opportunity for choral students to explore what it means to be a choral conductor and a music educator.
Built on a program developed by the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association, American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) opened up the experience for the first time to students across the country.
Separately, Virginia ACDA is launching an east-coast option this year. As the conference is now offered in two locations at two different times,
more students will be able to participate.
The cost for the entire 4-day/3-night conference is $350 (tuition, materials, room, board,) and several states are offering full scholarships to either conference. More information on that is available here:
