The National Collegiate Choral Organization announces its 11th Biennial Conference, “Cultivating Transformation,” to be hosted by California State University, Fullerton, November 6-8, 2025.

With a theme of "Cultivating Transformation," this conference will provide inspiring performances and stimulating presentations - all designed to help us grow as choral professionals and learn from one another. As always, we provide ample time to connect with colleagues from around the continent.

We're thrilled to visit Southern California for this conference, which is a hub of many choral traditions and communities. Not only will we hear our hosts from the outstanding Cal State Fullerton choral program, but we'll also be able to learn from some of the region's choral leaders - including from dynamic community colleges - with specializations in music from Latine, Asian American, and additional traditions that have homes in Southern California.

As always, we welcome all of you, from graduate students through emeriti, and from all types of post-secondary institutions, to join us at the conference. Please apply to offer performances or sessions that share ideas and repertoire with our membership, and come ready to connect and to cultivate your own transformation.

We believe that NCCO can be a resource for positive change, as as our Mission Statement says: "the choral field and the act of singing communally can have transformative effects on society." We have all been transformed, time and again, by the choral art and by our connections with our students and one another. We sincerely hope you will join us.
