Repertoire and Standards
"The Choral Repertoire and Standards Committee shall seek to improve the quality of choral performance and literature in the United States" ~ Article XIII, Section 4, ACDA Bylaws
The twelve R&S Committees, established by the National Board of Directors, provide support, vision, and resources for every major area of choral work within ACDA.
R&S Committees play an important role in serving their respective choral areas. R&S Committees provide:
- leadership
- information
- networking
- excellence among colleagues
- professional growth
- choral music in the lives of people
R&S Chairs, appointed at the national, division, and state levels, serve conductors, teachers, composers, and constituencies who share similar interests. Chairs possess demonstrated expertise in a specific choral area and serve as leaders in the three primary ACDA efforts:
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Commitment
The R&S Committees have a vital role in ACDA. R&S Chairs and their committee members provide resources which promote excellence in all aspects of the performance of choral music.
