Welcome to the homepage for the West Virginia chapter of the American Choral Director’s Association.

The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) is a nonprofit

music-education organization whose 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 members teach choral music in public and private schools -

kindergarten through senior high school - and at the college and

university levels. They conduct a variety of choral groups, including boy choirs, children's choirs, men's and women's choruses, junior and senior high school choirs, college and university choruses, ethnic choirs,

vocal-jazz ensembles, and symphony choruses. They also conduct choirs in their communities and in their places of worship.

Both the state and national ACDA organizations offer a variety of

excellent performance opportunities for you and your choirs.

We invite you to browse our website, and if you are a choral

director, to consider joining our thriving organization.
