Greetings and Happy New Year!
The 2016 ACDA Division Conferences are quickly approaching and it is my pleasure to introduce the ICEP Conducting Fellows from the United States and South Korea as part of a special 7-part series for the ICEP Spotlight on ChoralNet. In this first phase of the 2016 exchange, ACDA will host an ICEP Conducting Fellow from South Korea in each of our seven divisions. The second phase of this exchange will see the US Conducting Fellows travel to South Korea during the summer of 2016.
