ACDA National Youth Honor Choir Scores in London

Olympic sport isn't the only special event taking place in London this summer.  Among the many valuable and highly visible undertakings by the American Choral Directors Association in the summer of 2012 was the inaugural National Youth Honor Choir's concert tour of England.

Those traveling with the choir were impressed. "The thing that struck me most was the level of musicianship these kids showed, some from the very first rehearsal," said Eden Badgett, a conductor from North Carolina.  "By the final concert, it felt like a cohesive group that could truly make expressive and meaningful music."
