Laudate

Laudate (praise) is a select group of highly skilled, dynamic, and spiritually mature music majors that study in the School of Music at Cairn University.

The ensemble seeks to bring  glory to the Master Musician through performances of sacred, classical, and non-classical repertoire. The members of Laudate also offer masterclass sessions for educational environments in order to encourage the next generation of musicians in their musical growth.

OTW (On The Way)

(6 members)

On The Way (or OTW, as the students say) is the University’s traveling worship band. OTW travels to camps and conferences throughout the academic year and the summer to lead worship from their distinct style blend of modern hymns and contemporary worship music. In the past, OTW has traveled, performed, and represented Cairn at YoliJwa, Camp Orchard Hill, Spruce Lake, Camp of the Woods, and many other churches, camps, and conferences. OTW is continually sought after, as their performances are indicative not only of talented musicians, but those who clearly represent Christ.
