In this month’s ACDA Advocacy and Collaboration Curated Episode you get to meet a fellow ACDA Standing Committee Chair, Dr. Joshua Habermann. Habermann chairs the International Activities Committee and in this conversation we explore what they do and why or how you can participate - but we also talk about Dr. Habermann’s work in the professional chamber choir world with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale as well as thoughts on work-life balance and choices that all conductors face. This episode has a little bit of everything - including vulnerability - and we can’t wait for you to give it a listen to see what collaborations or advocacy moments it inspires!
