Student-run Wild Oak Records Releases Orchestra CD
California State University, Chico’s student-run recording label, Wild Oak Records, will be releasing a CD featuring the Chico Symphony Orchestra on April 19.
The CD will include selections from Mozart and Beethoven performed by the 65-member orchestra comprised of CSU, Chico students, players from the local area and professional musicians.
The orchestra is directed and conducted by music professor David Colson with music professor William Ramsey as the university chorus director.
Wild Oak Records student intern David Johnson said the CD is a way for the community to access quality classical music, and the Chico Symphony Orchestra’s music is the finest in the North State.
Wild Oak Records is a nonprofit record label formed in 1997 by students in CSU, Chico’s Music Industry Program. Ten students, selected by adviser and music professor Paul Friedlander, manage the business and marketing affairs for the record label.
The CD will be available at all local record stores and the CSU, Chico Associated Students bookstore. For more information, contact Friedlander at 530-898-5243.
