The American Choral Directors Association’s 2023 National Conference, a yearly gathering of the nation’s committed choral community, is being held this February in Cincinnati, Ohio, from Tuesday the 21st to Saturday the 25th. It features groundbreaking choral concerts, interest and insight choir sessions, networking opportunities, worship opportunities, fairs, Immersion Choirs, and more. Surrounding the historic venues housing the ACDA conference are homemade Cincinnati spots to eat, drink, rest and explore. The area also has an array of local churches available to all, from Presbyterian to Catholic to non-denominational. The 2023 National Conference’s days of extended choral immersion close on a Saturday; perhaps attendees interested in rounding out a Cincinnati trip by giving their Sunday to a local church will find a Cincinnati home of worship that intrigues them. Cincinnati has something for everyone: [May insert disclaimer here]
