A Request from Truman Dalton, WV ACDA Community Choirs R & S Chair
WVACDA Community Choirs
According to the ACDA website, a community choir is a choir that draws its membership from a community at large, not restricted to a single institution. This means that community children’s choirs, symphony choruses, professional, semi-professional and amateur choirs, can all fall under the genre of community choir. All of these choirs are unique yet all are the same for they share the goals of advancing the choral art through rehearsal and performance and the production of beautiful vocal music.
Dr. Tim Sharp, ACDA Executive Director, in a conversation at the WVACDA conference in February, indicated that this can be quite broad and could/should include barbershop groups as well as those mentioned above. Inasmuch as they draw from their communities, choral unions attached to colleges or universities also should be included.
So that we can get a complete picture of community choral organizations in West Virginia and develop a directory, I would like to request that directors and/or officers of such groups send me as much of the information as possible on the attached WORD document.
This request is being sent to the WVACDA membership.You can help by disseminating this request for information to directors who may not be ACDA members. Please forward at will!!
The best method is to fill in the attached WORD document and return it as an attachment to .
If necessary, it may returned via USPS to:
