ICantori of Walla Walla University
ICantori the select choir of Walla Walla University, an auditioned group chosen from the 1,500-member student body, enjoys a history of touring that began in 1929. Renamed ICantori (Italian: “the singers”) in 1979, the ensemble has traveled extensively in the Pacific Northwest and western United States and appeared also in Canada, Russia, and Romania. Since 2011 they have performed at venues including The Cathedral of Christ the Light (Oakland), St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral (Seattle), St. James Cathedral (Seattle), Christ Church Episcopal (Tacoma), Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (Portland), the Co-Cathedral of Saint Theresa (Honolulu), the historic Kawaiaho’o Church (Honolulu), Peachtree Road United Methodist Church (Atlanta), the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (New York), St. Patrick Cathedral (New York). Their repertoire focuses on classical music but includes a wide variety of styles. The choir regularly performs for the 2,000-member Walla Walla University Church of Seventh-day Adventists and offers a major concert each quarter on campus. Tours are funded by the University and generous donations from interested supporters. We invite you to support our touring by sending a check marked "ICantori Tour Fund" to the WWU Department of Music, 204 S. College Avenue, College Place, WA 99324.

Kraig Scott, director
A native of British Columbia, Kraig Scott has served on the faculty of Walla Walla University since 1986. His responsibilities include teaching Organ and Harpsichord, Choral Conducting, History of Music and conducting the University choirs.
While still in high school, Scott completed the Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto and then majored in music at Walla Walla University. His advanced degrees include a MMus from the University of Oregon, an MA in musicology and DMA in organ performance from the Eastman School of Music (where he also received the coveted Performer’s Certificate). He also completed a post-graduate choral conducting study with David Rayl and Jonathan Reed at Michigan State University.
As an organist and harpsichordist, Scott has made recital appearances in 11 states and 10 countries in venues such as Dunblane Cathedral (Scotland) and the Sejong Cultural Center (South Korea), to name a few. He has presented master classes at many institutions, including the Eastman School, Westminster Choir College, and for several chapters of the American Guild of Organists. Having conducted church choirs for most of his adult life, including 18 years at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Walla Walla, he now focuses his energy on ICantori and University Singers.
