Congratulations and best of luck to the performing choirs and leaders of interest sessions from Pennsylvania who will be part of the ACDA Eastern Region Conference in Boston on February 9-12, 2022:  ACDA-PA members are encouraged to invite their high school, college, church, and community singers to join in song this summer at the Summer Conference!
Guest conductor-composers Elaine Hagenberg and Dr. Marques Garrett will lead the “Choir for All,” an honor choir associated with the ACDA-PA summer conference. The rehearsals and performance will take place at Messiah University on Sunday, July 31 and Monday, August 1, 2022 which will culminate in an informal performance at the conference. This is an opportunity to learn music from some amazing conductor-composers as well as sing with a wide variety of people. ACDA members should assemble a quartet of singers (SATB or multiple quartets of singers) from their high school, college, church, or community choir to participate. COVID mitigation efforts will align with the CDC at the time of the event. Stay tuned for further information on registration and lodging.  This just in: in 2022, ACDA-PA will hold not 1 but 2 Composition Competitions - student and non-student. Complete guidelines for both competitions can be found here. Be sure to share with aspiring composers! Both compositions will be premiered at our 2022 Summer Conference, July 31-August 2 at Messiah University (save the date!).
Dear colleagues,
Thank you to all who attended ACDA-PA's Summer Conference over the past two days. I hope you left inspired, encouraged and refreshed. Perhaps now your creativity can flow a bit more freely going into the new academic year. Conference recordings are being added to Whova and all content will remain available to you until October 31st. Please take a moment to complete our post-conference survey. Your input is valued! https://forms.gle/5oZPm33puQ7Rkkn4A Thanks for your resilience and patience with a virtual conference this year. I hope to see you next August at Messiah University for Summer Conference 2022. Gratefully, Joy Meade President-Elect, Conference Chair
Dear ACDA-PA,

Welcome! As ACDA-PA continues to evolve, we are eager to sustain and develop important resources for the state. Please share your ideas with me as we move forward: president@acdapa.org I hope to see you (virtually) at our summer conference! Warmly, Elizabeth Colpo President, ACDA-PA  The early-bird deadline for the 2021 ACDA-PA Summer Conference “New Horizons” is just 14 days away (June 15).
