These include “Kwaheri,” “The Way is Clear” and an original arrangement by Graduate Conductor Maria Kramer. The CWU Wildcat Chorus is an energetic non-auditioned group which fosters a team attitude and support for all tenors and basses in the ensemble. This is Dr. Scott Peterson’s thirteenth year conducting the ensemble, and they will present pieces from the low voice choir tradition, including the Scottish “Bonnie Hielan Laddie” and “I’ll Fly Away.” Tickets are $15 general/$10 students and retired. All ticket proceeds go towards operational costs for the CWU choral program.
