The 2024 SDMTA Conference will be held November 7-9 at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD. This year's conference will feature baritone Mark Billy as our conference guest artist. Mr. Billy enjoys a multifaceted career in recital, concert, and opera work, as well as teaching. He has a voice that “captivates and hearkens to the golden age of bel canto singing.” As a singer of Native (Choctaw) ancestry, he is “passionate about the furthering of music education and Indigenous culture.” You can read more about him at www.markbillybaritone.com.
I hope you will plan to join me at our conference this year for a weekend of concerts, workshops/lectures, competitions, and community. A full schedule will be announced in late Summer.
