It was a fantastic trip! Everyone was very happy, and all the students said it was the most amazing thing that has ever happened to them. Everything about the tour - hotels, food, tour buses, etc., was very high class. The parents that traveled with us were amazed at the high level of service and quality. (I, of course, told them that this is what we have come to expect from MCI….consistent quality.)

The concerts were the highlights. I think the performers loved every venue. It was incredibly difficult to find venues in Spain during Holy Week, but in spite of that challenge, our students were able to sing in some very memorable venues that all provided a slightly different (but all very friendly) acoustic. We were well received by all the audiences as they were very appreciative. The concerts were emotional and very memorable.

My other most memorable moments were just the overall cultural education that I received about Spain - the interaction of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim cultures throughout the centuries. The fact that these people seemed to get along much better 600 years ago was very interesting, when put in context with today’s problems.

I would be more than happy to be a reference! I’m very pleased with our relationship with Music Celebrations.
