Founded in 2007 by Artistic Director, Timothy Christie, the Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival (WWCMF) is held in the rolling landscape of vineyards and farmland of Walla Walla Valley. Its quaint downtown reminiscent of a bygone era, Walla Walla is both backdrop and concert stage for this celebration of great music. Musicians perform in the intimate wineries, galleries, and theaters throughout the valley.

Earnest’s work was included among music by composers Andrew Normann (b. 1979), Arnold Bax (1883-1953), and Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953).

MorningStar began in late 1986 as the dream of Rodney Schrank and Ruth Lewis. Both Rod and Ruth had worked in the music department at Concordia Publishing House for a number of years, which gave them the publishing expertise needed to establish a new company. From the beginning, MorningStar has functioned as a non-denominational publishing house focusing on music used in churches whose worship focuses mainly within the liturgical tradition.
