The Philippine Choral Directors Association is inviting all choral directors and enthusiasts nationwide to its First National Convention and 3rd National Masterclass for Choral Conductors on 11-15 November 2010 at the Brokenshire Resort & Convention Center in Davao City.

 
>> Movers and shakers of the choral arts in Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao will converge in the host community for the first-of-its-kind national gathering under the auspices of the PCDA to discuss current issues and trends.

>> Big names in the Philippine music industry and the global choral circuit top the bill in masterclasses from the basic to the cutting-edge, some of which have never before been offered in the country, or probably even the world. (Mark Anthony Carpio, Ryan Cayabyab, Malou Hermo, Eudenice Palaruan, Anna Piquero, Branko Stark, Onyl Torres and Jonathan Velasco)

>> Like angels descending from heaven, award-winning conductors and the most sought-after choral clinicians take time off from their intercontinental jet setting to meet choirs for one-on-one artistic assessment & consultation.

>> World premieres… world beats… world-class artists! Only the winners plus the performance of an exciting new vocal ensemble and a series of concerts and collaborations with choirs of the host community. (The Himig Singers | Alvin Aviola, University of Mindanao Chorale | Peter Buaya, Koro Ilustrado | Edmund & Anna Piquero, The Chamber Choir of Asia | Jonathan Velasco, The Philippine Madrigal Singers | Mark Anthony Carpio)

>> Choral practitioners and enthusiasts meet and connect to learn and exchange in a more casual environment at The Choral Plaza in between sessions where a wealth of licensed choral publications and recordings are on sale at special prices.
