The South Metro Chorale recently returned from a successful tour of eastern Europe where they performed for warm, appreciative audiences in Poland, Czech Republic, and Austria. Here is what director Loren Squires had to say about his experience:

In October, 2005 I had the privilege to lead “The South Metro Chorale” on a concert tour of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Austria. In was my eleventh European Tour of my career and was the best. It was my first association with MCI. From the very start of planning, John Wiscome and his staff went out of their way to work with us in a very professional, yet personal way.

During our tour we sang 6 concerts. The venues were outstanding as well as the audiences. It was a thrill to sing at the anniversary celebration of Pope John Paul II’s ordination in Wadovice. The Cathedral was so packed the choir could not sit down. After the Mass the Priest sat down and everyone stayed as we sang our entire repertoire. In Prague, MCI arranged for us to sing a concert with a choir from Prague and one from Holland. I think that these kind of experiences are so special and not easily arranged by operators who do not have the experience, staff and contacts that MCI has. MCI’s European staff members performed their hosting duties wonderfully well. The Hotels, food , tour guide, bus & driver were all very good.

It is my pleasure to give MCI my highest recommendation!
