But the only association is their liveliness, ease and wittiness. The group was established in the end of 2010.

In mid-April, 2011, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington university Campus to join the choir in recording 3 of his pieces, (the teaser/trailer URL is found below) This performance of Gjeilo's "Ubi Caritas" is from that session, following a rendition in which the composer joined the choir and improvised an accompaniment (URL below). In this video the choir sings the piece in its published (unaccompanied) version. One behind-the-scenes comment: On the last page of the piece, when the first melodic material occurs again - Ola, who was sitting in the hall, asked half the choir to hum while the other half sang to create a more ethereal effect. The CWU Chamber choir also has recorded videos of the music of Monteverdi, Muehleisen, Singh, Victoria, and Rautavaara on YouTube Gjeilo "In the Moment" teaser/trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrvEgQl57b0 "Ubi Caritas" (with the composer ...    less
