"Beyond the Notes" 2012 Recap

NC-ACDA was amazing!  Highlights:

Pictures from the event will be posted here as soon as they are available: http://ncacda.org/

To Be Certain of the Dawn was WONDERFUL!!!  If you ever have the chance to see it performed or hear the religious figures involved or even Stephen Paulus or Michael Dennis Browne speak, do!  If you aren't familiar, this is known as the "Holocaust Oratorio" and is a very moving experience.

The Czech Boys' Choir was one of my top two favorite performing groups of the weekend.  And they knew more verses of "America" than even those of us in the audience (AMERICAN choral directors) did!  I would highly recommend checking them out!

My other favorite group of the conference was definitely the Great Northern Union Chorus.  These men specialize in anything a cappella and give very enthusiastic and moving performances.  Beyond that the audience has no choice but to be engaged.  I would definitely pay to see this group again!

Long story short, conference was great.  If you want to know any more about what happened, choirs, or events, visit the website I posted above!
