The Riverfront Times writes that the “eight members of Octarium go beyond raising their voices together in song; their voices warp and weave together, coalescing as a single instrument of tremendous power and depth.

Born in Munich in 1897, Ben-Haim had a very impressive career as a pianist, conductor and composer. He moved to Tel-Aviv in 1933, and soon became a leading figure in the musical life of Palestine and the State of Israel (from 1948). Ben-Haim regarded his work as part of a wide-spread effort to synthesize Eastern and Western traditions. read more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ben-Haim La rosa enflorese en el mez de May, Mi alma s'escurese sufriendo del amor. Los bilbilicos cantan sospiran del amor, Y la pasión me mata muchigua mi dolor. Más presto ven Palomba más presto ven a mí, Más presto tú mi alma que yo me vo morir. The roses bloom in the month of May, But my soul's full of gloom suffering in love. The nightingales sing and are sighing in love, The passion will kill me, multiply my pain. Come faster, oh dove, come faster to me, Come faster, my soul, because I shall die. ...    less

In May, 2013, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus to join the Choir in recording 4 of his pieces. The other three were "Sanctus", "Luminous Night of the Soul", and "Vast Eternal Skies" This performance of Gjeilo's "Ubi Caritas II" is from that session, which included a rendition of the piece sung in in its published (unaccompanied) version as well. This was Mr. Gjeilo's second time on our campus, the first was in the spring of 2011, which resulted in 5 videos and a DVD (http://goo.gl/Xld0o) As of 2013, the CWU Chamber Choir also has recorded videos of the music of Byrd, Monteverdi, Muehleisen, Singh, Victoria, and Rautavaara on YouTube.
