2 FMC ENDOWMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

THE MISSIONThe F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund was established in 1996 by the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota (ACDA-MN) to guarantee a vibrant future for exemplary choral music in the state of Minnesota. Its mission is to provide active Minnesota choral conductors with professional development opportunities, to encourage and support talented young musicians to pursue choral conducting as a career, and to provide administrative support for ACDA-MN.

THE INSPIRATIONThe endowment’s namesake, F. Melius Christiansen (1871-1955), was a Norwegian immigrant who is considered the ‘father’ of a cappella singing in North America. Christiansen founded the St. Olaf Choir in Northfield, Minnesota, and shaped it into arguably the best-known collegiate choir in the world. For nearly thirty years, he used an ethic of hard work to achieve perfect intonation, seamless ensemble blend, and crisp diction. The F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund recognizes Christiansen’s inspirational contributions to the choral art.

THE IMPACTIn addition to providing administrative support for ACDA-MN, the F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund offers scholarships to ACDA of Minnesota conductors studying at the undergraduate or graduate levels and to conductors actively directing academic, community, corporate, faith-based and professional choral ensembles. Five scholarship programs provide financial support for ACDA-MN members and collegiate student conductors to attend Summer Dialogue, ACDA national and division conferences, the World Symposium on Choral Music, and to pursue graduate study in choral conducting. Scholarship descriptions and the 2013 recipients are listed on page 3.
