BAY AREA REGION

Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano & Sonoma Counties

Welcome, Bay Area Choral Conductors!

Hello! I am honored to serve as the Bay Area Representative for CCDA. My goal is to continue the great work that my predecessors have done, especially Dr. Buddy James and Dr. Julie Ford. Thank you for your leadership!

Did you know we have a SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA FACEBOOK PAGE?
The SF Bay Area is rich with choral activity and I would love to know what you are up to. If you have choral news that you would like to share, such as festivals, concerts, or other significant choral events that would be of interest to Bay Area colleagues, please feel free to post it there or send me the information by email. Photos are always appreciated, too!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have. No request is too small or too large, and I am happy to help or connect you with someone who can.
