Welcome, Southern Region!

Welcome Southern Section Members!
Choral music thrives here in Southern California, and CCDA strives to support the development of choral conductors, educators, composers, and musicians! There are opportunities here for choral musicians and conductors of all ages! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have about CCDA’s Southern Region (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino counties), as well as any ideas you may have about getting involved with our events and initiatives.
​
Need inspiration, resources, rep ideas, or just want to chat with a fellow choir conductor? Let me know how I can help?
