The St. Joseph High School Symphony Strings, from St. Joseph, Michigan, toured and performed in New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. last month. Here is what Steve Reed, the director, said about his experience:
What can I say about performing in Carnegie Hall? The hall, the rehearsal, the backstage personnel – top drawer and the natural highlight of the tour. Acoustically and aesthetically there is none better than Carnegie Hall. Thanks for making this a reality. Overall a fantastic experience. I was also very impressed with their inclusions in their Playbill. Very impressive. The performances in Washington, D.C. were also great experiences. Music Celebrations does a great job! This is the 2nd tour with MCI. My interaction with your office was very good. Always answered our concerns and questions. I sincerely appreciate the extra work it took to secure rehearsal places and times.
