Ep. 119 Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh and In Case Yinz Missed it: Child Cured of "Incurable" Cancer
Critically acclaimed as one of the finest choruses in the country, MCP is the “voice of the greater Pittsburgh region”. Unlike other professional arts organizations, MCP is comprised of mostly amateur singers with professional-caliber talent, whose day jobs vary from postal clerk to physician to casino card dealer. MCP singers give generously of their talent, passion, and commitment to share the magic of live music with the widest possible audience. Tressa discusses all of this and SO much more - including how MCP is partnering with local nonprofits - in a delightful and insightful chat with MCP's new Music Director, Daniel Singer.
