The art performances of the Mountain View High School choir also successfully introduced to audience melodies and songs of various genres, from classical music to contemporary Pop songs.

It was pleasant that the American students showed their efforts in leading the exchange program in Vietnamese.

Every year, the Madrigals travels to many countries to participate in music festivals and to undertake international tours. The group has performed in Brazil, Iceland, France, England, Italy...
