The American Choral Director's Association National Conference in Kansas City provides amazing professional development for choral directors across the world. But beyond the amazing interest sessions and concerts are the conversations with share with the people we meet during the week. Listen in on some impromptu conversations I had and get a taste of what ACDA National Convention 2019 was like!

 

1. Conversation at Manhattan Concert Productions booth in the exhibit hall - what started as one conversation veered towards discussing Moravian music and choral music of little known exposure

2. Reactions from choir directors regarding the Oakwood Aeolians' performance that "broke ACDA"

3. Check in with 4 East Carolina University Chamber Singers who participated in the morning sessions with John Rutter. Three of the singers are non-music education majors and briefly discuss their collegiate music experience.

4. Exhibit Hall interviews with 2 members of the Aeolians, Paula from the Texas Street Choir, and further reflections from choir directors in attendance.

Enjoy this informal insight into conference!
