MVSU Valley Singers Invited to Verona International Choral Competition An extraordinary opportunity has presented itself for the MVSU Valley Singers. The choir has been invited to participate in the prestigious 2025 Verona International Choral Competition, MARCH 26-31, and they are excited about the prospect of representing the university and community on an international stage. However, the total cost of the trip amounts to $165,100 and they are reaching out to individuals and organizations within the community for assistance. Your contribution, no matter the size, would go a long way in helping to achieve the goal of attending the competition. Whether it be a direct monetary donation or support in any other form, your generosity will directly contribute to the success and growth of the choir members. If you have any questions or would like further details regarding the trip or the choir, please feel free to contact Dr. Brandon Cash, director of choral activities/assistant professor of music at choir@mvsu.edu or 662-254-3488.
