Washington State American Choral Directors Association Invites you to attend:
WA ACDA Summer Institute July 17-19, 2024

We look forward to once again welcome you to the campus of the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma and to  fill Kilworth Chapel with music and conversations.

 

We are confident that you will find ways to fill your cup with the love of choral music that we all need refilled at this point. To that end, we invite you to be fully present in the reading sessions, listen well to what your colleagues are saying as you connect at the Coffee Cabana, enjoy the delicious Salmon Dinner and be ready to build your conducting skills with the Dr. Rosephanye Powell Conducting Masterclass by adding your voice to the demonstration choir on Thursday evening.  

 

You may register for all three days, or individual dates.  We will have dormitory housing available for those not wishing to drive daily, just add that on to your ticket.  

Pre- Registration with a discounted price, will open in January 2024 and will close on July 1, 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions: 

 

Why are we using an App instead of packets?

  • The JWPEPPER App gives us more titles per session.
  • Eco-friendly
  • Budget friendly- JW Pepper charges large fees for small events. Our event is not large enough to support printing booklets for just some of our members.


Do I need a computer or tablet?

  • Yes, we recommend attendees have a tablet or other device to view music easily through the JW Pepper web page or their new and improved app.
  • There are no paper packets available for our event.
  • We hope to publish our event titles early, so you may purchase single copies prior to the event.

Will there be Wi-fi access?

  • Yes, Wi-fi will be available on site.

If I register after Pre-Registraion will I be able to have Salmon Dinner reservations?  

  • Salmon Dinner priority seating is given to those who pre-register before July 1.
  • We will make every attempt to have dinner available for all our Wednesday guests, however, with rising food cost in mind, we will not be able to guarantee such.
