Music Conference Alberta is Alberta’s premier professional development opportunity for music teachers, choral conductors, band directors, and studio instructors. Held in Edmonton at the MacEwan University's Allard Hall and Francis Winspear Centre for Music, delegates are invited to attend interest sessions, interactive panel discussions, open rehearsals and rehearsal labs, masterclasses, MCA One-on-One sessions, and concerts. The MCA Marketplace provides an opportunity for delegates to browse and purchase product, meet industry representatives, and learn about upcoming travel and fundraising opportunities. Leaders in music education in the province are recognized in the company of their peers at the MCA Awards Luncheon.
The conference schedule, session descriptions, presenter biographies and other relevant information is available on the Music Conference Alberta website.
