Thank you for posting.

In case you are interested, here are some additional resources you may wish to check in with about spreading the word. Apologies that these suggestions are US-centric. If you haven't already, you may want to check with ACDA.org (the American Association of Choir Directors) if they have a mailing list they can send the announcement to (someone else here may happen to know). Chorus America is also an organization that has a mailing list that includes many choir directors.

It sounds like a great event...
