“We were very pleased with the Windy City Choral Festival. It was simply outstanding. I know MCI to be an organization dedicated to delivering extraordinarily high quality performance travel experiences with artistic, educational, and financial values all at the highest levels. I was very pleased with the experience that my singers got to share. Their interactions with the [other] singers were positive and encouraging. Z. Randall Stroope was all that I promised my singers I said he would be: brilliant, gracious, warm, expressive, a musician’s musician, a fine teacher, an empathic heart, a deep person, and a Maestro par excellence. Our stand-alone, featured performance was very special for us; the members of the ensemble thought they gave the best performance they ever had as members of the Bakersfield Master Chorale. We look forward to our next MCI tour.”

Bakersfield Master Chorale
The professional and complete leadership by MCI and their staff made the Festival smooth and beneficial. It is not often that an older adult choir can sing alongside of high school students but we were all one. Kudos to all who made it possible. Along with Dr. Provencio I too look forward to another tour provided by MCI.
