News & Press

With a wealth of experience in musical performances all over the world, Dr. Everett McCorvey, the American Spiritual Ensemble, and UK Opera Theatre have received plenty of publicity. Here are some of the reviews and write-ups from journalists.

"Dr. Everett McCorvey conducts the chorus and the 46-member Virginia Symphony Orchestra in his debut with Virginia Opera. This renowned artist is a dynamo, leading his own choruses and conducting orchestras across the country. It is a measure of how robust this opera company shows itself to be to have his like take the podium." - DC Theatre Arts

"Conductor Everett McCorvey led the Virginia Symphony Orchestra in an outstanding performance." - Opera Gene
