Applications for Performing Choirs

For the 2024 NC ACDA Fall Conference

The North Carolina Chapter of the American Choral Directors Association (NC ACDA) invites applications for choirs to perform at the 2024 Fall Conference, October 4-5 at Queens University in Charlotte, NC.

Our theme this year “Singing our Stories” reflects that our membership encompasses many areas of the choral arts, as such we are looking for performing choirs and repertoire that will speak to the diversity of conference attendees.  Choirs of all ages and all voicings are invited to apply to perform. Applicants are asked to consider repertoire representative of a variety of styles and musical traditions, as well as representative of diverse cultures and communities. Repertoire that promotes historically marginalized voices/composers, addresses themes of societal inequalities, and/or promotes cultural competence is strongly encouraged.

Applications will be reviewed anonymously, and adjudicators will use the National ACDA Performing Choirs Rubric.

Applicants will be submitting three audio recordings of their group in Section 3 of this form.

Performance length will be a maximum of 25 minutes, except for extended works.

If you conduct multiple choirs and wish to submit multiple applications, please complete the application process separately for each choir. Please do not combine choir applications.

Applications are due no later than 5:00pm on Saturday, June 1, 2024.
