When is the last time you were transported to another place by music? In Dallas at one of the conference performances? Last weekend in your place of worship? At one of your local concerts? Too long ago to remember?
We have all had that feeling of losing ourselves in the music, that sense of transcendence from daily life and individual cares that moves us to feel our connection to something higher or bigger than us. As a musician, you may have had the incredible fortune to do that for others.
I would also bet that you have encountered challenges in the daily life of an artist that pull you away from what is inspirational towards that which must be done, or signed, or answered, or taken care of.
One area of ACDA member benefits is aimed at inspiration. What you share with other ACDA members is a deep and abiding commitment to choral music – something that must be fed. If you haven’t taken a look at some of the exclusive musical offerings available to ACDA members, how about doing that now?
Go to the ACDA Web Page and log-in (upper right-hand corner). Call (405-232-8161, ext. 200) or email me () if you need help remembering your username or password. Scroll down the right-hand column and click on “First Listen” – your chance to listen to Naxos pre-release pieces. Look across to the left-hand column and click on one of the ACDA Radio options My personal favorite is the Early Music (Sacred) channel! Have you discovered the ACDA member discounts available on recordings from ClassicsOnline or the A Cappella Mega Sale? Look on our Members-Only Specials page for the discount codes and instructions.
