Portable CMU: how a university of the church takes care of its roots

Monday, December 2, 2019 @ 12:00 AM

Our faith teaches that we belong to those who have made us: to Christ, our families, and communities. Accordingly, CMU belongs to the many-membered church body that first raised it up and nurtures it to this day. Enter Portable CMU. Former president/professor emeritus Dr. Gerald Gerbrandt, the program's first director, says "one of the great things about the offering is that from the beginning, it was congregation-instigated."

This Thirsty Land: CMU Festival Chorus and Mennonite Community Orchestra in performance

Monday, October 28, 2019 @ 9:33 AM

On Saturday November 2, the newly formed CMU Festival Chorus and resident Mennonite Community Orchestra will join forces, along with student and faculty soloists, to present This Thirsty Land, a bill of masterworks reanimated for the present moment.

Directed by CMU's Janet Brenneman (PhD), and grafted into the roots of the former Mennonite Festival Chorus, the CMU Festival Chorus brings together three distinct ensembles under the university umbrella, comprising current students, alumni, and community members. Still in its inaugural season, the choir has already worked with several distinguished WSO directors, performing definitive repertoire by Mozart, Britten, Handel, Beethoven, Verdi, Mahler, Schoenberg, Silvestrov, and Pärt.
