Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo & Ventura counties.

CENTRAL COAST REGION

Dear CCDA Members and Guests,

I am excited to join you all as your new Central Coast Representative to CCDA!

As we emerge from the past two years of pandemic, we are at an exciting time of renewal and growth.  I’d like to encourage all of us to reach out to our colleagues, offer our experience and expertise through interest sessions and roundtables, and to become more connected in our choral community.  If you would like to connect, please reach out to me!

We are stronger together and I look forward to connecting through new and creative ways.  More to come soon, so check your emails or reach out!

​I also encourage you to share news about your choral activities for the "News and Notes" section in our CCDA periodical, Cantate.

​Share the good news about your choral activities for the "News and Notes" section in our incredible CCDA magazine, Cantate.  (Active photos, one that conveys a story is appreciated.)
