Talented IWU Students – A Personal Note

By: Rick Carder

 

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to travel with our IWU student musicians. Being able to hear and see their talents and testimony continues to be a highlight of my travels. Across the United States I have been able to follow the Wind Ensemble, University Chorale, Master’s Praise to name a few.

Today I thought I would reflect and share with you some of the sights and sounds of our University student musicians. Enjoy, just as I have had the pleasure to hear and experience the music and message of our students.

The University Chorale never ceases to amaze people with their music and message. Here are a few highlights from their travels in Florida.

Spring Break 2016 was a significant opportunity for parents and grand parents to follow, as I did, the Chorale throughout Florida.

A favorite stopping point is in Brooksville, FL. The Wesleyan Church is pastored by Dr. Jerry Pence who was chosen as Pastor of the Week.
