NCCO Portland Registration and Conducting Masterclass now open

Dear Colleagues,

 

It is time to register for the 6th National Conference of the National Collegiate Choral Organization.  Our team of officers and colleagues have put together another invigorating, multifaceted conference, the details of which can be found at our website www.ncco-usa.org.  We hope you can join us and celebrate 10 years of our young organization!

 

Registration can be found at our website at www.ncco-usa.org.

To register, click on the “Register for Portland Conference” button, and follow the instructions.  If you need to renew, become an active member again if your membership has expired, or create an account, just click on the appropriate buttons and follow the instructions.  For assistance, send an email to Brian Gorelick, NCCO Secretary, at .

We highly recommend booking your hotel accommodations as soon as possible.  At this moment, our NCCO room block at the Hilton Portland and Executive Tower is fully booked, thus surpassing our past numbers!

 

Additional courtesy blocks and promotions have now been arranged with the Paramount Hotel, Hotel Modera, the Portland Marriott City Center, and the University Place and Conference Center on the Portland State University campus, and booking information for these can be found at www.ncco-usa.org/conferences/.  A map of Downtown Portland Hotels is also available there for your convenience.

We would also like to announce openings for the Conducting Masterclass with Simon Carrington.  Masterclass participants will conduct works prepared by the Portland-based Chamber Choir, Choro in Schola, directed by Bruce Browne.  If you are a graduate student member, or you have graduate students who you would like apply, please see our homepage for application instructions and requirements.

It is not too late to purchase an ad in our program book.  Details can be found on our homepage.

Once again, our 6th biennial national conference offers a fantastic line-up of collegiate performers and programming, stimulating scholarship and dialogues, engaging sessions with inspiring leaders in our profession, and as always – excellent camaraderie – all in one of the most beautiful areas and hippest cities in the country. 

 

Please join us in Portland, the land of breweries and tax-free shopping, on November 12-14, 2015!

 

Cheers and all best wishes,

Mitos Andaya Hart, NCCO President
