KWUR 90.3 Clayton FM, Washington University’s own underground student-run radio station, annually hosts a week of free musical events featuring local and student music, open to all Washington University students. This year’s KWUR week, which began on March 25, featured over a dozen acts, with performances ranging from lively jazz waltzes to hardcore punk screams and instrumental folk.

With the shutdown of campus due to coronavirus, Washington University student groups have had to cancel programming and figure out how to move forward with their organizations in an off campus capacity.

Student Union released their student group budgets for the spring semester on Nov. 11, allocating 66.9% of requested funds.

For the last 27 years, KWUR has tried to reflect the diverse musical interests of the Wash. U. campus community.

After Student Union cut over $550,000 in funding requests from the budget, students groups must adjust their budgets for the upcoming year.

While usually reserved for speakers and comics, indie rock band Mothers came to Graham Chapel this past Tuesday to kick off KWUR Week 2018.

The 24th annual KWUR week will feature performances from a variety of musical genres, ranging from experimental to classical music.

The 21st annual KWUR week running through the coming weekend features a number of upcoming artists never before seen at the University or in the greater St. Louis area. The festival was set to begin last Sunday, March 24 with a local showcase, but the showcase was postponed to April due to inclement weather.

Indie rock band The Mountain Goats will be headlining at the Gargoyle on Saturday for the 20th anniversary of KWUR Week. KWUR Week is a weeklong event in which the historic community-run radio station brings in musical artists from different genres who have never been to St. Louis before to perform on campus.

KWUR may not have come off the air, but its transmitter was functioning at below 10 percent of its original capacity last week when the group hired engineers from the Society of Broadcast Engineers to check up on its equipment. “They laughed when they saw our transmitter,” senior Robert Ling III, treasurer of KWUR, said.
