Choral Music of the Americas

This looks quite interesting:

 

The North Dakota State University Department of Music and the American Choral Directors Association announce the NDSU Choral Symposium: Music of the Americas, May 3-5, 2013, in Fargo, ND. This event will showcase the choral music and traditions of North, Central, and South America.

The focus of the symposium will be the choral repertoire of the Americas and the cultural and social influences that have guided the development of this music. Another aspect of the symposium will be the discussion of what the choral traditions have in common, and what makes each of the choral traditions unique and representative of its respective culture.

The symposium will include performance by the NDSU choirs and invited choirs conducted by guest conductors
