2026 ACDA Southern Conference - Memphis, TN

Call for 2026 Performing Choirs and Interest Sessions
The submission window opened March 4, 2025, and will close April 16, 2025
A Word about the Conference Theme – “Prism of Voices”
When considering a program, think of how music can be viewed through the lens of a”prism.” By including different styles and cultures, music breaks into a broad spectrum of sounds, textures, and experiences. When viewed through the lens of cultural diversity and stylistic interpretation, which includes the Western canon, music transforms into a soundscape rich with different tonalities, rhythms, and emotional expressions.
Just as a prism reveals the hidden beauty within light, exploring music through the lens of different styles and cultures unveils an expansive sonic landscape, inviting listeners into new experiences, emotions, and connections across time and place.
