ACD Resources

The NZCF provides membership to The NZCF Association of Choral Directors (ACD). See some of our resources listed below.

ACD Network

Join ACD and you will become part of a network that provides professional development and mentoring, and fosters connectivity and collegiality between choral leaders. The ACD's activities are overseen by a committee of the NZCF, chaired by NZCF Board member David Squire.

Every two years, the ACD runs Choral Connect, a national convention for choral leaders from around New Zealand, including workshops, presentations, masterclasses, concerts and opportunities to network.

Members of the ACD have their own closed Facebook group where they can discuss repertoire, accompanists, concerts, professional development, workshops and other events, and generally support one another.
