Wyant Morton conducting a Homecoming Choral Concert.

THOUSAND OAKS, CA - The California Lutheran University Choir and Women’s Chorale will open their season with an eclectic Homecoming Choral Concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30, in Samuelson Chapel.

The CLU Choir will then take the stage to perform a program including works for double choir and music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang, Javier Busto, Adolphus Hailstork, Howard Helvey and Morten Lauridsen.
