Founded in 1959,
the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) is a nonprofit
music-education organization whose central purpose is to promote
excellence in choral music through performance, composition,
publication, research, and teaching. In addition, ACDA strives
through arts advocacy to elevate choral music's position in
American society.
ACDA membership consists of approximately 18,000 choral directors
who represent more than one million singers across the United
States. ACDA members teach choral music in public and private
schools - kindergarten through senior high school - and at the
college and university levels. They conduct a variety of choral
groups, including boychoirs, children's choirs, men's and women's
choruses, junior and senior high school choirs, college and
university choruses, ethnic choirs, vocal-jazz ensembles, and
symphony choruses. They also conduct choirs in their communities
and in their places of worship.
The Arkansas Chapter of ACDA is part of ACDA's Southwestern
Division. For more details about ACDA, please click
