The NDSU Concert Choir, under the direction of University Distinguished Professor Jo Ann Miller, was selected to perform at the North Central American Choir Directors Association conference Feb. 8-11, 2012, in Madison, Wis.
“The NDSU Concert Choir is honored to have been selected to perform at the conference,” Miller said. “Performing for several hundred choral conductors and singers in the beautiful new Overture Center in Madison will be a thrill for the choir.”
North Central American Choral Directors Association region includes North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. The top choirs from each state auditioned to participate in the conference and only 14 choirs were selected.
The choir has performed at numerous state, regional and national music conferences, most recently at the national American Choral Directors Association conference in San Antonio. The choir performs regularly with the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra and tours overseas every three years. Choir members are from all majors at NDSU and more than two-thirds are music majors. The 66-voice choir rehearses daily and performs several concerts a year on campus in addition to annual spring tours. The NDSU Concert Choir has produced more than 30 recordings.
