Who We Are

We are a company of committed educators, passionate musicians, and expert in hospitality and travel.

Our byline is more than a slogan – we promise our commitment to musicianship, hospitality and value. Through our various programs and offerings, it is our goal to collaborate with you in meeting the particular performance and travel needs of your ensemble this year.

Choirs of all ages can participate in our Masterworks Series, Octavo Series, or Debut Series with performance opportunities at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center or Orchestra Hall-Chicago. A list of our nationally recognized conductor/clinicians is available on this site. Vocal and instrumental jazz ensembles are cordially invited to our 11th annual New York City Jazz Festival at the lovely Jazz at Lincoln Center site on Manhattan's Columbus Circle. Concert bands and orchestras will want to consider ensemble performance through either our Debut Series in several cities, or the Band and Orchestra Festival in New York. Choirs with interest in adjudication and critique should consider our Excel Concert Choir Showcase scheduled for March 19 in Orlando, Florida and April 9 in San Francisco, California. And contemporary a cappella ensembles are invited to the Excel A Cappella Academy, January 28-30, 2011 in Nashville.

In addition to festival participation at renowned venues, we have divisions within MCP that offer individually tailored travel for all ensembles with your choice of itinerary and music content. MCP International is dedicated to full-service international travel and ensemble performance. Overseas opportunities include tailored tours to Italy, Baltic and Nordic countries, Germany, Austria, Prague, England, Scotland, and the Czech Republic, South Africa, Hungary. MCP Travel Services is specializes in providing additional services for MCP festivals and custom designed domestic tours for choirs, bands, orchestras, and theater groups.
Embarking on our 12th season, we look forward to including you in the MCP family of participating ensembles during the 2011 season! Please let us know how we can be helpful.
