2026 ACDA Southern Conference - Memphis, TN

Call for 2026 Performing Choirs and Interest Sessions

The official Calls will be released later this month. In the meanwhile, here are a few points that will hopefully satisfy many queries:

The submission window will open March 1, 2025, and close April 16, 2025

Performing Choir Auditions will consist of three selections:

2024-2025 or 2025 calendar year
2023-2024 or 2024 calendar year
2022-2023 or 2023 calendar year

Representative programs are required for each year submitted

A proposed program is required. When choosing literature for this 25-minute program, you are asked to strongly consider diversity in literature through a variety of genres and composers/arrangers of underrepresented groups and reflect the conference theme.

Interest Session Submissions

We call upon our membership in all repertoire and resource areas to share their insights for a 50-minute presentation that will engage our ACDA audience. All varieties of session topics related to the choral art are welcomed. We are particularly interested in topics that align with the conference theme and sessions that meet the needs of our diverse community.
