 The Great Lakes State is proud of our talented and creative community of choral musicians. If you are visiting our web site for the first time, we hope that you will return often. Please note that Bella Voce, our state newsletter is now available to our membership on this website. If you are not an ACDA member, please join us as we promote the choral art. A great opportunity for present and new ACDA members will be to attend the 2010 ACDA-MI Fall Convention to be held October 29-30 at Central Michigan University. Our headliner clinicians, Charlene Archibeque and Jerry Blackstone will be sure to inspire all of us. In addition, I encourage Michigan choirs from all R&S Areas to submit their audition applications by March 30th, 2010! Registration for the Fall Conference is easy and will start September 1st. Information on housing will be made available as soon as those accommodations are confirmed! We hope that you will join us for another successful ACDA-Michigan Convention in October at CMU to celebrate our glorious art form. Always feel free to contact me if you have comments or suggestions. Have a great year! Richard Ingram
President, ACDA-MI |
