Choral Connect

Features of Choral Connect ‘25

Connect Groups – Connect Groups offer delegates the chance to gather with others who share similar interests, roles, or ensemble types. These informal sessions are designed to foster conversation, idea-sharing, and the exchange of repertoire and resources. After registering, delegates will be invited to indicate their preferences so we can connect you with the most relevant group.

Talanoa on the Future of Choral Conducting in Aotearoa New Zealand – As we close the conference, this talanoa invites all delegates into a shared conversation about the future of choral conducting in Aotearoa New Zealand. What kind of training do our conductors need, and how do we make it accessible and rigorous? How can we better support one another in sustaining careers in a field that often lacks formal pathways and faces increasing financial pressures? And what role should the Association of Choral Directors play in advocating for, resourcing, and developing our professional community? This open dialogue is a chance to reflect, challenge, and collectively imagine the future of our craft.

Plenary topics and Repertoire Reading sessions will be announced soon.
