Nell and
others: I wanted you to know that another honor will be bestowed on me
by the California Chapter of the American Choral Directors Association
namely the Howard Swan Award for distinguished service to the
profession. The occasion for the presentation will be at the California
ACDA's summer convocation at the Evergreen Conference Center Oakhurst
48303 Highway 41, Oakhurst, CA 93644 on Sunday, July 27 . The site is
simply called ECCO.
I am
really honored to be added to the list of choral directors who have
succeeded in the profession. A telephone call two weeks ago from
president Lori Rios informed me that the executive committee of the ACDA
had submitted my name and it was the consensus that I should be this
year's person. Of course this means that Howard Swann, who was a mentor
of mine during his time as Chair and Head of Choral Activities at
Occidental College, and Director of Music at Pasadena Presbyterian
Church, a close associate of Robert Shaw, Fred Waring, charter member of
ACDA and a host of others who have already passed this way. Those that
followed are of the same philosophy and have distinguished themselves
in the field. Thanks to the work of the Jubilee Singers, public school
choral music at the elementary, Middle, and Senior High School and
University levels, I have arrived at this new status.
Thanks to you and others who have directly supported my work. I offer my humble thanks
