Welcome to the online home of the National Collegiate Choral Organization
Sound recordings from our 2008 Cincinnati conference are now available online through soundwaves.org.
The National Collegiate Choral Organization (NCCO) exists to serve the specific needs of university and collegiate choral conductors by providing a national forum for their choruses to perform, by offering lectures and promoting repertoire suitable to their interests, and by aiding in their professional development and program growth through performance as well as scholarly and research opportunities.
NCCO will sponsor biennial conferences that will focus on the particular needs of the college/university and other choral professionals with respect to:
- Performances by university and college choirs
- Presentations/clinics/workshop sessions appropriate for university and college conductors
- Literature sessions that feature literature appropriate for university and college choirs
