American Choral Directors Association (ACDA): International Conductors Exchange Program
Published: Jul 31,2024

With the Philippine Choral Directors Association in 2025

The International Conductors Exchange Program (ICEP) provides opportunities for the rising generation of choral leaders to represent the United States as ambassadors to the world in the exchange of music, ideas, and cultures. Established in 2010 and coordinated by ACDA’s International Activities Committee, the program has connected choral conductors in the United States with counterparts in Cuba, China, Sweden, South Korea, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Uruguay, Kenya, South Africa, and Germany.

ACDA and the Philippine Choral Directors Association (PCDA) are pleased to announce that, in 2025, the International Conductors Exchange Program will be in partnership with conductors and choirs in the Philippines. In 2024, six American and six Filipino conductors will be selected to participate in a bilateral, mutual exchange to take place in 2025. Conductors will be paired based on backgrounds and interests and will visit each other’s choral communities, sharing techniques, and learning best practices.

Residencies in the United States will be centered around the 2025 ACDA National Conference (18-21 March 2025 in Dallas, Texas, USA)
