We were delighted to award this year’s Chair’s Award for Choral Leadership jointly to David and Gillian Victor-Smith at the University of Winchester as part of this year’s Annual Convention.
This is the third year of the award and once again, nominations were very strong, but the panel felt that David and Gillian’s contribution, not just to choral music making but to abcd, has been substantial over many years. Posted: Tue 25th October 2016 | Read More

ABCD has submitted evidence to the DCMS regarding the effect of COVID19 on the arts and on choral music in particular and as part of Singing Network UK is advocating for the safe return of group singing with the UK government.
abcd has published a research paper on the impact of the COVID 19 virus on choral activity in the UK.
The report, prepared by Professor Martin Ashley, an abcd trustee, provides a survey of research into the current thinking about how choirs and conductors might resume rehearsing and performing.
