Dear Fellow ACDA Members:


I am very pleased to send you this special opportunity involving John Rutter and a new SATB choral piece. &nbsp;  The details are on the link below. &nbsp;  You won&rsquo;t find another opportunity like this for being involved in a Rutter commission! &nbsp;  Think about it for your school, your church or your community choir. &nbsp;  A lovely way for someone to remember an anniversary or birthday or as a memorial.


Here&rsquo;s the link to the description on the web. &nbsp;http://www.chorusamerica.org/rutter_commission.cfm
