Who We Are

History of the Association of Connecticut Choruses (ACC)

Established in 1981, the Association of Connecticut Choruses (ACC) is a non-profit organization of community, festival, college/university, and church choirs, as well as individual singers, dedicated to promoting and encouraging choral music through workshops, summer sings, a lending library system of choral music and recordings, and joint concerts. Our goals are:

• to gain recognition for choral organizations
• to reduce member chorus music expenses through mutual music lending
• to promote and foster communication among the many choruses in the State of Connecticut
• to offer workshops on topics essential to the success of choral organizations
• to act as liaison between individual choruses and state/national organizations
• to promote and coordinate joint concerts with member choruses
• to provide services which will enhance the growth of individual singers and choruses
• to commission choral compositions from well known Connecticut composers
