🌟 Be part of something new with OCDA!

The Ohio Choral Directors Association is excited to invite high school choral programs across the state to join the 2026–2027 OCDA High School Commission Consortium, featuring an original SATB work by The Podd Brothers!

Participating choirs will have the opportunity to be part of the commissioning process and individually premiere the new work during the 2026–2027 school year. The piece will explore themes of wonder, light, and our connection to something greater.

And who better to tell you about it than the composers themselves? đŸŽ¶ Check out this special invitation from The Podd Brothers!

đŸ’« OCDA Members: $200
đŸ’« Non-Members: $350 (includes a one-year OCDA membership)
