NCCO10 National Conference

November 9-11, 2023

The National Collegiate Choral Organization announces its 10th Biennial Conference, “Coming Home,” to be hosted by Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, November 9-11, 2023.

After four years apart, this in-person conference will provide opportunities for professional development and rejuvenated connections with peers. We will acknowledge and address new challenges facing our students, our programs, and our own well-being. We will share ideas that serve many types of post-secondary institutions. We will once again enjoy live performances of wonderful repertoire. Perhaps most importantly, we will celebrate our accomplishments and the joys of our profession.

We look forward to coming back home to our beloved NCCO community.

Please view an introductory welcome from Kellori Dower, NCCO President 2022-23.
