Dr. Everett McCorvey is president of Global Creative Connections, a production and management company for musical and theatrical events.
In September 2010 I was humbled, honored and excited to serve as the executive producer of the opening and closing ceremonies for the Alltech 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games held in Lexington, Kentucky. To coordinate these events, I formed a production company called Global Creative Connections.
The opening WEG ceremony was broadcast on NBC Sports, viewed by more than 500 million people worldwide. The Alltech 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games was the first and largest international equestrian event ever held in the United States. It was a glorious experience to preside over such an important global event.
Global Creative Connections has the equipment, experience, expertise, and appreciation for details to produce musical and theatrical events in just about any venue or locale.
Founded in 1986 (formerly MUSICAMERICA S.L.), the concert representation and production agency EUROMUSICA Productions dedicates all its activity to collaborating as a music and dance supplier with the organizing entities and sponsors of Spain in the public and private sectors.
The role of EUROMUSICA over the past 30+ years of work, has been to bring together artists and the programmers, to makes it possible for all stage professionals, in all areas, to bring their work to the public.
Spanish Impresario and General Director, Juan Martín-Montalvo Barra, has curated this wonderful wine tour!
