The Fall Choral Classic is a non-competitive festival designed to enhance open and honest exchange between the clinicians, the conductor and the students. This fun filled festival takes place in the wonderful acoustical environment of CWU's Dr. Wayne S. Hertz Concert Hall in the Jerilyn S. Mcintyre Music Building. All invited choirs are expected to arrive and be seated by 8:15 a.m. and remain for the duration of the festival, which ends with a one hour showcase final concert and awards ceremony, concluding by 6:00 p.m. This is a non-competitive festival, designed to embrace choirs where they are and help guide them to the next level of excellence. We know how early it is in the year, and hope this festival provides encouragement to get out of the starting blocks quickly, while motivating singers to work hard for a successful school year. There will be performances from CWU Choral Ensembles: Vox Divina, Wildcat Chorus, University Chorale, Vocal Jazz 1, and Chamber Choir. This year’s exceptional adjudicators include Max Mendez and Chris Maunu. They will be joined by current CWU faculty Dr. Scott Peterson, Prof. Vijay Singh, and Dr. Nicole Lamartine as additional adjudicators.
