The Lannom Award for Young Conductors

In 2000, members of ACDA and several former students of Allen Lannom established an Endowment Trust in honor of his contribution to the choral art and his commitment to mentoring young conductors. The Lannom Endowment Trust is one of the trusts administered by the American Choral Directors Association under the ACDA Endowment Trust.

The purpose of the Trust is to advocate for the choral art by providing funding for the mentorship of choral conductors that will enhance their musical understanding and artistry in conducting.

In keeping with the purpose of the Trust, an award will be given to a conductor who is twenty-nine years of age or younger to engage in score study with a master conductor at the MassACDA 2011 Summer Conference; (application here). The application deadline for the score study application is April 27, 2011.

If you are a choral conductor who meets the requirements of the award, we invite you to complete the appropriate application (available via the hyperlinks above) and submit it to the addressee named on the form by the due dates.
