The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) is a non-profit music education organization composed of over 18,000 choral musicians representing schools, colleges and universities, industry and institutional organizations, churches and synagogues, and community and professional choirs. Our 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 is divided into seven geographic regions as well as fifty state chapters, each with its own conventions, newsletters, festivals, clinics and workshops. National conventions are offered in February or March of odd numbered years while the seven division conventions take place in February and March of even numbered years.

Residents of Indiana who join ACDA also become members of the Indiana chapter, ICDA. If you are interested in membership, simply print and complete the ACDA Membership Form and follow its mailing instructions. All members receive copies of The Choral Journal (the monthly national magazine), Resound (Central Division newsletter, published three times a year) and Notations (Indiana’s newsletter, published four times a year).

Membership is a wonderful opportunity for networking with hundreds of colleagues who are active in the choral art. Our publications and conventions provide members with diverse and practical forums through which we develop and sharpen our professional skills. Why not join today?
