Our Mission and Purpose
Iowa Choral Directors Association, Inc. exists to serve choral musicians in the state of Iowa by providing leadership,
guidance and support, offering continuing education opportunities, promoting excellence in the choral art through high quality offerings and
events, supporting education and growth beyond college graduation, and enriching and renewing the musical souls of its membership.
ICDA's 1000+ members are choral conductors
at every level of learning from pre-school to adult and they make music
with a wide variety of choruses. ICDA is regarded nationally
as a leader among state ACDA organizations in providing opportunities
for growth and development for all those dedicated to choral music. ICDA is an affiliate of the American Choral Directors Association,
one of the largest professional organizations for choral directors in
the world with a membership of approximately 17,000 directors representing
one million singers.
