MCI in Italy!
Most of the MCI staff traveled to Rome, Assisi, Florence, Cremona & Lucerne on our annual familiarization tour. While on tour, we experienced much of what our clients experience in terms of lodging, meals, guided tours, bus (& driver), and we visited several amazing performance venues. Each of us came back with a greater appreciation of what Italy can offer performing ensembles. One of the highlights of the tour was in Cremona, when the director of the Stradivari Museum played the “gem” of the Stradivarius collection for us!
While in Lucerne, we visited the world renowned KKL, western Europe’s finest performance venue, where we will be holding the Lucerne International Choral Festival. Each of us walked away a bit awed by the beauty of the hall and its wonderful acoustics. We are excited for the choirs attending the 2007 Festival!
