Join Us at the 2026 Chorus America Conference

We’re excited to be heading to Minneapolis, Minnesota for the 2026 Chorus America Conference, taking place June 3–6, 2026.

The conference is one of the most important annual gatherings for the choral field, bringing together leaders from professional, community, and educational choirs across the country. For us, it’s always a valuable opportunity to reconnect with the chorus community and continue supporting the work being done by directors, administrators, and organizations at every level.

Choral travel remains a central part of what we do. We’re committed to helping ensembles create meaningful performance experiences that support musical growth, strengthen community, and elevate their programs. Chorus America provides an important space for those conversations, and we’re always grateful to be part of it.

Representing us at this year’s conference will be Encore Ambassador Sean Boulware and Program Consultant Julian Edwards. Both will be onsite throughout the week, meeting with choral leaders and organizations to discuss performance travel, program development, recruitment, and long-term planning for choirs. We’ll also be exhibiting during the conference, and we hope attendees will stop by our booth to connect, ask questions, and share ideas.

In addition to attending the conference, we’ll also be hosting a Touring Dine-Around, offering a smaller and more informal setting for conversation. The gathering will focus on both domestic and international choir touring, giving attendees an opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss practical considerations around planning meaningful travel programs.

These smaller discussions often lead to some of the most valuable conversations of the week, creating space to explore ideas in greater depth and connect directly with others navigating similar opportunities and challenges.

If you’ll be attending the 2026 Chorus America Conference, we hope you’ll connect with Sean and Julian or join us for the Touring Dine-Around. We’re looking forward to being in Minneapolis and continuing the conversation around how travel can strengthen choral programs and create lasting impact for singers and their communities.
