Summer Conference Call for Performing Choirs

4/10/2019

 
ACDA-PA 2019 Summer Conference
August 4-6, 2019
Shadyside Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh
 
Call for Performing Choirs
 
ACDA-PA invites applications for performing choirs to appear at its summer conference.  We seek to represent the primary ACDA Repertoire and Resource areas—Youth, Collegiate, Lifelong, and Repertoire-Specific (Equity & Justice, Men’s/TTBB, Women’s/SSAA, Jazz, Ethnic, Contemporary/Commercial)—with a diverse, broad representation of our 21st-century choral art, and we invite audition recordings from choirs of all age levels, specializations (e.g. Gospel, Barbershop), or renown, including ensembles that represent historically underrepresented populations. Innovative and inspiring programming reflective of the choir’s strengths should be the cornerstone of the proposed program. Concerts should be 30 minutes in length.
 
Application Materials
  • The ensemble’s biography (up to 100 words maximum).
  • The conductor’s biography (up to 100 words maximum).
  • A proposed program if accepted. The proposed program should include the title, composer and/or arranger, and approximate performance time in minutes and seconds of each work on the program. The program should be for 30 minutes total on stage (including applause, changes of formation, etc.).
Recording 
  • Please submit recordings of two contrasting pieces in MP3 format.
  • Total recording time cannot exceed ten minutes.
  • Recordings should not be enhanced or engineered in any way.
  • Recordings should reflect repertoire similar in complexity and style to the program proposed for the conference performance, but they need not be pieces on your proposed program.
 
IMPORTANT: Do NOT include any identifying information within the recording itself (e.g., an announcement of the group or conductor, a visible banner of the school in a video clip, etc.).
 
To be considered for performance, please submit an online application using the link below.  Application materials should be submitted by June 1, 2019 (deadline extended).
 
It is understood that ACDA-PA will not assume financial responsibility for travel, registration, food, or lodging for performers.  Submitting an application for performance implies that the performing ensemble is prepared to travel, and perform at the conference if accepted.
