Help SEND the Angelica Cantanti Singers to DALLAS to perform at the National ACDA Conference in March 2025!
Thank you so much for supporting us!
The Cantanti Singers have received a prestigious invitation to perform at the 2025 American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) National Conference to be held in March in Dallas, Texas. The selection process for ACDA is highly competitive and choirs are reviewed by a well-respected peer jury panel. Invited performing choirs are recognized for quality and the consistent strength of their programs. Our 70-member high-school-age choir is one of 10 Angelica Cantanti Youth Choir ensembles that rehearse once a week in Bloomington, Minnesota. We hope to give these young singers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sing on a national stage.
“In the choral world, we’ve made it to the Super Bowl and we couldn’t be more honored and thrilled for our singers to represent Minnesota and perform for a large audience of choral directors, educators, and composers from all over the world,” said Executive Director, Audrey Riddle.
The Angelica Cantanti Singers will perform two 25-minute solo concerts on Wednesday, March 19, at 10:00 am at Winspear Opera House and 1:45 pm at Meyerson Symphony Center in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas.
