MCP is the real deal. A real concert in a great hall with a real audience. Brian Stubbs Brainerd High School Great guest conductor and a very professional and friendly MCP staff! Wonderful hotel and location. Great, busy schedule! My students are still talking about the trip. Loisanne Robins Pine View School ...from the initial audition to the after concert cruise and every detail in between, my college students were treated with the utmost respect and genuine kindness... it was a life altering experience for many individuals in the ensemble. I am grateful to everyone at MCP for their wonderful hospitality and for giving me the opportunity to conduct in a venue where all the virtuoso artists have performed. Julia Thorn Centenary College
