Call for Interest Session Proposals

2/25/2025

ACDA-PA invites proposals for interest sessions to be presented at the 2025 conference. Sessions will be 50-60 minutes in length and should fall under the following topics:

Cultivating musical excellence, career longevity and meaningful vocation for conductors
Developing independent, knowledgeable and vocally-healthy choral singers
Discerning choral leadership on and off the podium
Illuminating choral repertoire from cultures and traditions within and beyond Pennsylvania.

ACDA-PA encourages applicants to think creatively, deeply and specifically about these topics and offer sessions that expand our memberships’ perspectives and challenge and question existing models. Applications should be empowering and inspiring for all ACDA members, and collaborative applications and those that include audience participation are encouraged.

The deadline for interest session applications is 11:59pm EST, May 15, 2025. Successful applicants will be notified of acceptance by May 31, 2025.
