The Lafayette Madrigal Singers have been chosen to perform a featured concert at the bi-annual conference for the Southern Division of American Choral Directors Association in February 2018 in Louisville.
It is a tremendous honor to be selected to perform for this region's choral professionals. This is a very selective invitation and was made possible by audition tape based upon three previous years’ performance recordings. We are very proud of this accomplishment and the alumni whose outstanding past work made this invitation possible.
Lafayette Madrigal Singers were selected as one of five high school choirs. Only 19 choirs were selected from among 90 applicant choirs. We are one of only four high school choirs in Kentucky to have ever performed at a national or divisional ACDA convention and we are one of only two Kentucky high schools to have been invited twice. For high school, college and even professional choirs, an ACDA performance is one of the highest honors a choir can receive. There were only nineteen performing choirs selected of which, five are high school choirs. To be recognized and awarded a performance slot is greater than winning a state-level contest.
ACDA Southern Division is the largest of divisions and includes: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. http://acdasouthern.org/conference-2018/performing-choirs-2/
