"Greetings from the Collinsworth School of Music at California Baptist University! As a firm believer in the power of music, I am thrilled to share the talent of our University Choir and Orchestra with you. Unlike many performances that simply entertain, the students in our choir and orchestra use their music as an opportunity to truly connect with the audience - moving them to respond and become part of the performance itself. What an experience! To make music with this group means fellowshipping, interacting, enjoying, and communicating with the audience - which, in turn, creates the connection and the feast being enjoyed - and propels the students toward personal excellence. At CBU, we hold our students to high standards, encouraging them to be the very best persons, students and musicians they can be. These high expectations often become part of students' individual journeys towards lives of excellence. It is my hope that these journeys will enable you to savor music in a new way." -Dr. Gary Bonner
