Maine South High School is proud to announce that ten student vocalists have earned placement by competitive audition into the 2027 American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) National Honor Choirs.
The National Honor Choir is a prestigious, audition-based national recognition sponsored by the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA). Students from across the country submit auditions for the opportunity to be selected to participate in these exceptional ensembles. Those chosen come together to rehearse and perform challenging choral repertoire under the direction of nationally recognized conductors, representing some of the finest young vocal talent in the country. Selection is an incredible achievement that recognizes students’ musical ability, dedication, and artistry.
The performance will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center on March 10, 2027 in Minneapolis, MN. The Maine South Fine Arts faculty and community are incredibly proud of these talented student singers and Choral Director Matthew Hanes for their commitment to excellence in the arts.
