NCCO, like ACDA, is focused on choral music and its conductors in the United States. It differs in that NCCO is focused solely on the collegiate ranks of choral music educators and conductors, and not elementary, middle or high school, or community choral work. The organization is fairly new, but has enjoyed quite a bit of success, and continues to grow in scope and size, exploring new ground and issues unique to the world of collegiate choral conducting and education.
