Association of Dominican Classical Artists, Inc.
Founded and based in New York City, the Association of Dominican Classical Artists, Inc. (ADCA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) performing arts organization dedicated to promoting classical music, along with its composers and interpreters from the Dominican Republic and Latin America. As a resident company at Aaron Davis Hall, ADCA brings live performances of classical, folkloric and traditional Latin American music to Upper Manhattan communities through a series of free orchestral and
chamber music concerts. In partnership with City College Center for the Arts, ADCA has presented four concerts a year for the last seven years. The concerts showcase performers from Latin America and promote the music from Latin American classical composers that have little chance to be heard in NYC. ADCA supports the Washington Heights Community Conservatory of Fine Arts, the chamber ensemble La Camerata Washington Heights, and ADCA Symphony Orchestra. Since its founding in 1980, ADCA has presented its concerts in some of the most prestigious venues in NYC, including Merkin Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall, and Cami Hall.

Message from the Artistic & Executive Director
Message from the Artistic & Executive Director
At our 12th year celebration of the Washington Heights Community Conservatory of Fine Arts foundation, a project of the Association of Dominican Classical Artists, I am pleased to share our progress. Our Conservatory brings high quality artistic education, with the objective of preparing our talented local students with an artistic foundation. Our goal is to ensure that students with artistic inclination will be able to pursue a college level career in the arts, if they decide to after High School graduation. In my 27 years teaching for the NYC Department of Education Washington Heights, I have seen many students with great artistic talent losing out, due to the lack of high quality artistic education. Our conservatory was conceived with the ideals of making a fine arts education accessible to the underprivileged children of New York City, inspired on the ideals of chilean composer and educator Jorge Peña Hen.
