"We had a great trip. The Lincoln Center was amazing, and Music Celebrations is awesome! Feel free to use me anytime as a reference."
Tripp Morris, Tanner Williams United Methodist Church
"Overall, the festival at Lincoln Center was truly outstanding. Of course my personal highlight was the concert, on which there were many highlights. The level of competency and professionalism of all MCI reps created a sure success. This event FAR exceeded my already high expectations. I am certain that MCI’s handling of the logistics, especially, but not limited to, rehearsal and performance venues and hotels, helped lay the groundwork for musical success. I consider the Festival to be one of the top highlights of my professional and personal experience, and I hope for future projects with MCI."
Tim Koch, Carolina Master Chorale
"St. Patrick's was fabulous. (The Choir) loved Times Square and China town. The whole thing was great. An experience they won't forget. I already have younger kids asking when the choir goes back to NYC so they can go again. It's a first class operation and everything ran so smoothly. Thanks!"
Janelle Reetz, York High School Choir
"Having just returned from an excellent tour of New York City with our Alabama Boychoir and Alabama Girls Chorus planned by your company, I want to communicate to you what fine work your team did for us. In all of the preparation communications, we found your staff to be most helpful and available. From the moment we landed in New York, your tour guides were there to greet us and help us through the entire four days without any problems. Beyond that, they went out of their way on more than one occasion to see that we had the best experience possible, despite the cold, windy, rainy weather. The concert venues were most friendly to singers and the workshop at Julliard was a highlight of the trip for many of our musicians. Conductor Brian Toan was very generous with our choirs and helpful as well. Congratulations to you and your able staff on a job well done! In over twenty years of touring with choirs, this has been the best organized and executed tour yet. I am sincerely grateful."
Karen Nicolosi, Alabama Boychoir
"The level of attention to details during the planning, the willingness of MCI to meet every request, the fullness of the itinerary, the top quality tour guides and support staff in NYC, the quality of our tour: everything about this tour was first rate. There is no tour package out there that could offer as much quality (and quantity) for the price as your tour offered. Many of the chaperones (who also had to pay full travel price) said that this was an excellent tour for the money. Way to go MCI. I look forward to my next tour with you."
Nathan Artley, Pine Forest High School Orchestra
"All the performances were outstanding. St. John the Devine was a gorgeous space, and a delightful performance. The United Nations was another great performance, with the most people around to listen. Overall, we were very pleased with the tour. I will absolutely call on MCI when the time comes to tour again. Thanks!"
Tracy Lang, St. Mark's Episcopal School Chime Choir
"(The) Mass at Old St. Patrick's Cathedral went really well. It was a beautiful place to have that service. We were very pleased with singing at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. As far as singing there, it was probably the highlight of the trip. (Your staff) were all very helpful. I would love to be a reference!"
Pieter Goedhart, Valley Christian High School Madrigal Singers
"Just wanted to thank you for arranging our recent Public Academy of Performing Arts (PAPA) tour to Philadelphia and New York. (Our tour manager) was so knowledgeable about the area and made the trip so much more enjoyable. Rest assured that any future trips will be through your company because of the excellent service we received. Philadelphians and New Yorkers are the best!"
JoAnn and Beau Bowens, Public Academy of Performing Arts
"Thanks to Music Celebrations, the choir from Temple College had a wonderful time in the 'Big Apple'. The planning details were excellent, which included all the theater, museum, dinner, and subway tickets, plus plenty of flexibility in the schedule to include many extras. Our performance venue at St. John the Divine, manned by a charming and helpful host, was a magnificent experience. Temple College looks forward to our next trip to be planned by Music Celebrations."
Roy Finney, Director of Choral Activities at Temple College
"This is the second time touring with MCI and I have enjoyed both experiences very much. The reason I came back to MCI was the flexibility of arranging the tour and the wonderful work and consideration and timeliness of the folks at MCI. The staff at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine were very gracious to us and the clinic with Judith Clurman was delightful. All in all, it was a great experience and the kids had a wonderful time! We will definitely tour with MCI again!"
Dr. Monte Atkinson, Mesa State College Chamber Choir
