SPECIAL THANKS FROM OUR ACDA NORTH CENTRAL CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
Thanks to your generosity, seven ACDA-MN student members received a scholarship to attend the ACDA North Central Division Conference in Chicago, IL, February 14-17. Matt Kiminski’s comment below is a moving testimony to the personal impact of your gifts to ACDA-MN’s F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund.
The experience contributed to my development as a music educator, and further inspired me in the work that I am pursuing. Through hearing excellent choirs, meeting composers and other educators, I have seen the significance of ACDA and all that it does!
Your contributions, large and small, truly make a difference!
With best wishes on your upcoming spring concerts,
