The singers were accompanied by a full string orchestra, all under the direction of MCSV's Artistic Director, Charles Stephenson. We are now into rehearsals for our summer concert, Spirit of America.   This June concert will contain a variety of music depicting American music genres as well as famous American composers.    Here is what you can expect….
