Showcase Performers Announced for 2019 MCFEI
The VRPS Conference Committee is pleased to announce the lineup of showcases that will be presented after the complimentary dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 24, 2019 in the Hilton Main Ballroom. The entertainment will begin about 6:00 p.m. and continue through 9:00 p.m.
For the first time in 2019, we will be offering an evening of entertainment by a variety of performers who you may want to consider booking for your upcoming events. We know that it is sometimes difficult and expensive for you to travel to see a prospective entertainer perform. Therefore, we decided to bring the entertainers to you during the 2019 Conference.
Acts include:
Donna Washington:
Professional author, storyteller and multicultural folklorist, Donna has been featured at hundreds of festivals and thousands of schools, libraries, theaters and other venues around the world. A multiple-award winning artist with nine CD's, she presents stories for audiences ranging from 4 to 94.
Moscow Nights:
Award-winning Musical Ambassadors from Russia, Moscow Nights is an exciting, versatile trio of world-recognized, prize-winning musicians who have established themselves as one of the fastest rising folk groups in the U.S. Presenting an authentic picture of Russian folk traditions and culture, their lilting Balalaikas, dynamic Bayan Accordion, humorous dances and superb vocals combine for an exhilarating and educational performance for audiences of all ages.

This young, Classic Rock/Pop band boasts a rapidly growing fan base along the East Coast who enjoy tunes ranging from Stevie Wonder to Van Halen and Bruno Mars. Their musicianship, on-stage energy and ability to engage audiences make them popular with audiences of all ages.

Transit Vocal Band: Using the latest in live sound technology, Transit harnesses vocals, transforming them into a high impact show that audiences do not believe is created with only 4 voices.
