The PCDA national convention & masterclass is for YOU!

PCDA is inviting all choral directors and enthusiasts nationwide to its First National Convention and 3rd National Masterclass for Choral Conductors on 10-15 November 2010 in Davao City.


Great things happening at the National Convention...

• Movers and shakers of the choral arts in Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao will converge in the host community for the first-of-its-kind national gathering under the auspices of the PCDA to discuss current issues and trends.


• Big names in the Philippine music industry and the global choral circuit top the bill in masterclasses from the basic to the cutting-edge, some of which have never before been offered in the country, or probably even the world.


• Like angels descending from heaven, award-winning conductors and the most sought-after choral clinicians take time off from their intercontinental jet setting to meet choirs for one-on-one artistic assessment & consultation.


• World premieres… world beats… world-class artists! Only the winners plus the performance of an exciting new vocal ensemble and a series of concerts and collaborations with choirs of the host community.


• Choral practitioners and enthusiasts meet and connect to learn and exchange in a more casual environment at The Choral Plaza in between sessions where a wealth of licensed choral publications and recordings are on sale at special prices.
