Welcome to the College of the Arts Spring 2025 Season. As we come together to enjoy incredible art, dance, music and theatre programming from across the college, I know we are all still reeling from the recent fires that tore through the communities of Altadena and Pacific Palisades. In many ways, we are all Angelenos and when our city breaks, we break. Many of our students, faculty, and staff are finding comfort in processing complex thoughts and emotions the only way we know how: through the arts. It is our calling and what ties us to our community. Through our programming, we hope to provide a bit of respite to all of you during this time of regrouping and rebuilding.
In the College of the Arts, every note, every movement, and every word spoken on stage brings opportunity for discovery and connection. Whether you are a fellow Titan, family member, or community supporter, we are thrilled to have you here. You are now part of something much larger than this single performance. You are joining a vibrant and diverse collective of artists and technicians working together to push the boundaries of their craft.
Spring 2025 brings us a season of fresh programming to challenge our perceptions and immerse us in new perspectives. Later this month, the School of Music presents “Hajar,” a contemporary opera synthesizing ancient Jewish and Islamic stories into a modern immigration tale. Theatre begins their season with “Significant Other,” a heartfelt tale of love and longing in 21st century New York City. If you haven’t yet seen our spectacular new gallery building, make time to see “Chris O’Leary: Gravity Well” – an exploration of the cosmic phenomena of gravitational waves using video, sound, and images. In May, our dancers and choreographers return to the intimate Hallberg Theatre in “Spring Dance Theatre: From All Sides,” where viewers will experience a variety of dance forms from every angle of the stage.
It takes more than just the emotional support of friends, family, professors, and mentors to enable students to take creative risks of expression. As a college, we remain committed to providing these aspiring arts professionals with scholarships, financial assistance, and the industry-ready equipment, facilities, and opportunities to further develop their skills outside the classroom. Our resolve is steadfast, but we need your continued support to sustain and expand our educational mission, ensuring our students have the tools necessary to succeed. Please consider a donation of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence today.
I thank you for being here, for your ongoing support, and for your conviction in the power of the arts. Together, we can accomplish the extraordinary.
Sincerely,
Arnold Holland, EdD Dean, College of the Arts

Ganymed (Ganymede)
English Translation by Richard Wigmore
How your glow envelops me in the morning radiance, spring, my beloved! With love’s thousandfold joy the hallowed sensation of your eternal warmth floods my heart, infinite beauty! O that I might clasp you in my arms!
Ah, on your breast I lie languishing, and your flowers, your grass press close to my heart. You cool the burning thirst within my breast, sweet morning breeze, as the nightingale calls tenderly to me from the misty valley. I come, I come! But whither? Ah, whither?
Upwards! Strive upwards! The clouds drift down, yielding to yearning love, to me, to me! In your lap, upwards, embracing and embraced! Upwards to your bosom, All-loving Father!
Gott im Frühling (God in Springtime)
English Translation by Richard Wigmore
You have sent us spring in his shimmering robes and entwined roses about his head. Already he comes, sweetly smiling; the hours lead him to his throne of flowers, O Lord.
He walks among bushes, and they bloom; the meadows acquire their fresh green, and shade returns to the woods; caressingly the west wind
waves its dewy wings and every happy bird sings.
Birds, with the sweet notes of your songs let my song also soar up to the Father of Nature. I am filled with rapture! I will sing praises to the Lord who made me what I am.
Nachtstück (Nocturne)
English Translation by Richard Wigmore
When the mists spread over the Mountains, and the moon battles with the clouds, the old man takes his harp, and walks towards the wood, quietly singing: ‘Holy night, soon it will be done. Soon I shall sleep which will free me from all grief.’
Then the green trees rustle: ‘sleep sweetly, good old man’; and the swaying grasses whisper: ‘we shall cover his resting place.’ And many a sweet bird calls: ‘Let him rest in his grassy grave!’ The old man listens, the old man is silent. Death has inclined towards him.
Der Tod und das Mädchen (Death and the Maiden)
English Translation by Richard Wigmore
THE MAIDEN
Pass by, ah, pass by! Away, cruel Death!
I am still young; leave me, dear one and do not touch me.
DEATH
Give me your hand, you lovely, tender creature. I am your friend and come not to chastise. Be of good courage. I am not cruel; you shall sleep softly in my arms.
Der Doppelgänger (The Wraith)
English Translation by Richard Wigmore
The night is still, the streets are at rest; in this house lived my sweetheart. She has long since left the town, but the house still stands on the same square.
A man stands there too, staring up high, and wringing his hands in anguish; I shudder when I see his face, the moon shows me my own form.
You doppelgänger, you pale companion, why do you imitate my love’s sorrow, which tormented me on this very spot, so many a night, in days long past?
Das Veilchen (The Violet)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
A violet was growing in the meadow, Unnoticed and with bowed head; It was a dear sweet violet. Along came a young shepherdess,
Light of step and happy of heart, Along, along Through the meadow, and sang.
Ah! thinks the violet, if I were only The loveliest flower in all Nature, Ah! for only a little while, Till my darling had picked me And crushed me against her bosom! Ah only, ah only For a single quarter hour!
But alas, alas, the girl drew near And took no heed of the violet, Trampled the poor violet. It sank and died, yet still rejoiced: And if I die, at least I die Through her, through her And at her feet. The poor violet! It was a dear sweet violet!
Neue Liebe (New Love)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
In the moonlight of the forest I saw of late the elves riding, I heard their horns resounding, I heard their little bells ring.
Their little white horses
Had golden antlers and flew Quickly past; like wild swans They came through the air.
With a smile the queen nodded to me, With a smile she rode quickly by, Was it to herald a new love? Or does it signify death?
Waldesgespräch (A Forest Dialogue)
English translation by Richard Stokes
It is already late, already cold, Why ride lonely through the forest?
The forest is long, you are alone, You lovely bride! I’ll lead you home!
‘Great is the deceit and cunning of men, My heart is broken with grief, The hunting horn echoes here and there, O flee! You do not know who I am.’
So richly adorned are steed and lady, So wondrous fair her youthful form, Now I know you—may God protect me! You are the enchantress Lorelei.
‘You know me well— from its towering rock My castle looks silently into the Rhine. It is already late, already cold, You shall never leave this forest again!’
Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen (What a fluting, what a scraping)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
What a fluting, what a scraping, With trumpets blaring in; That must be my dearest love
Dancing at her wedding feast. What a clashing, what a clanging,
What a drumming, what a piping; And the lovely little angels Sobbing and groaning in between.
Hor; ich das Liedchen Klingen (When I Hear the Little Song)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
When I hear the little song That my love once sang, My heart almost bursts With the wild rush of pain.
A dark longing drives me Out to the wooded heights, Where my overwhelming grief Dissolves in tears.
Lorelei (Loreley)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
I do not know what it means That I should feel so sad; There is a tale from olden times I cannot get out of my mind.
The air is cool, and twilight falls, And the Rhine flows quietly by; The summit of the mountains glitters In the evening sun.
The fairest maiden is sitting In wondrous beauty up there, Her golden jewels are sparkling, She combs her golden hair.
She combs it with a golden comb And sings a song the while; It has an awe-inspiring, Powerful melody.
It seizes the boatman in his skiff With wildly aching pain; He does not see the rocky reefs, He only looks up to the heights.
I think at last the waves swallow The boatman and his boat; And that, with her singing, The Loreley has done.
Es träumte mir (I dreamed)
English Translation by Richard Stokes)
I dreamed I was dear to you; But I scarcely needed To awaken. For even in my dreams I felt It was a dream.
Der Jäger (My love’s a Huntsman)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
My love’s a huntsman, And he dresses in green, And his eyes are blue, But his heart’s too open.
My love’s a huntsman, Never misses his mark, And he bewitches girls, As many as he will.
My love’s a huntsman, Knows tracks and trails, But he’ll only come to me Through the church door.
Liebestreu (True Love)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
‘Oh drown, oh drown your grief, my child, In the sea, the fathomless sea!’ –A stone may stay on the ocean bed, My grief will always surface. –
‘And the love you bear in your heart, Pluck it out, pluck it out, my child!’ –
Though a flower will die when it is plucked: Faithful love will not fade so fast. –
‘Faithful, faithful – is but a word, Away with it to the winds!’ –
Though a rock, O mother, will split in the wind, My faithful love will withstand it. –
Amor (Cupid)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
By the fire sat the child Cupid, Cupid and was blind; with his little wings he fans into the flames and smiles; Fan, smile, wily child! Ah, the child’s wing is burning! Cupid, Cupid runs quickly.
O how the burning hurts him deeply! Beating his wings, he weeps loudly; To the shepherdess’s lap runs, crying for help, the wily child. And the shepherdess helps the child, Cupid, Cupid, naughty and blind. Shepherdess, look, your heart is burning; You did not recognize the rascal. See, the flame is growing quickly. Save yourself, from the wily child!
Winterweihe (Winter Dedication)
English Translation by Richard Stokes)
In these wintry days When the light is veiled, Let us bear in our hearts And confess to one another What fills us with inner light.
That which ignites a gentle flame Must burn on and on, That which tenderly unites souls And creates spiritual bridges, Shall be our whispered password.
The wheel of time may roll on, We can hardly catch hold of it, Lost to the world’s deceptive light, We shall on our island
Dedicate ourselves day and night to blessed love.
Die Nacht (Night)
English Translation by Richard Stokes
Night steps from the woods, Slips softly from the trees, Gazes about her in a wide arc, Now beware!
All the lights of this world, All the flowers, all the colours She extinguishes and steals the sheaves From the field.
She takes all that is fair, Takes the silver from the stream, Takes from the cathedral’s copper roof The gold.
The bush stands plundered: Draw closer, soul to soul, Ah the night, I fear, will steal You too from me.
Der kleine Sandmann bin ich (I am the Little Sandman) English Translation from Opernführer
The little Sandman am I, shhh! No ill intentions have I, shhh! I love you children dearly, shhh! and care for you sincerely, shhh! Two grains of magic sand I shake upon your eyes, now scarce awake: so by themselves they gently close to give you rest and sweet repose; and if you’re good and really sleeping tight, the stars will then appear in Heaven’s furthest sphere and angels bring you dreams of sweet delight!
So’ dream, my children, dream away, and angels bring you dreams of sweet delight!
Traumgekrönt (Crowned with dreams)
English translation by Richard Stokes
That was the day of the white chrysanthemums –Its brilliance almost frightened me ... And then, then you came to take my soul at the dead of night.
I was so frightened, and you came sweetly and gently, I had been thinking of you in my dreams. You came, and soft as a fairy tune the night rang out …
O liebliche Wangen (O lovely cheeks)
English Translation by Emily Ezust
O lovely cheeks, You make me want to Gaze diligently
On this red, this white. And this alone Is not what I mean; To behold, to greet,
To touch, to kiss! You make me desirous, O lovely cheeks!
O sun of ecstasy!
O ecstasy of the sun!
O eyes, suck The light of my eyes.
O angelic thoughts!
O heavenly beginnings!
O Heaven on earth,
May you not become for me,
O ecstasy of the sun!
O sun of ecstasy!
O fairest of the fair!
Take away from me this longing, Come, hurry, come, come!
You sweet, innocent soul!
Ah, sister, I am dying, I am dying, I am ruined, Come, come, come, hurry.
Take away from me this longing, O fairest of the fair!
Michael Schütze
Michael Schütze is a much sought-after pianist and collaborative artist across Europe and United States. In his professional career he has appeared as accompanist for international stars such as renowned baritones Olaf Baer and Andreas Schmidt, most recently for René Pape as well as for singers of the younger generation such as mezzosoprano Kathrin Goering (Opera Leipzig), tenor Timothy Oliver, baritone Christoph Pohl and Bass Georg Zeppenfeld of the Semperoper Dresden and tenor Manuel Günther from Bayrische Staatsoper Munich. He has regularly played for master classes given by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Andreas Scholl, Peter Schreier, Brigitte Fassbaender, Edith Mathis and Norman Shetler and cellist Peter Bruns.
Schütze studied piano performance and vocal accompaniment in Dresden, where he graduated with honors in 2001. As a soloist he performed with several orchestras in Germany. In 2001 and 2002 he was a vocal piano fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center. Playing for the National Polish Singing Competition in Duszninki Zdroj in 2002 was the beginning of regular invitations to serve as official accompanist at international competitions such as the Robert Schumann Competition, La Voce (Bavarian Radio), Competizione dellopera, DEBUT (Weikersheim) and the NATS (Los Angeles).
Schütze has played in concerts throughout Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Czech Republic and the U.S. as well as at Moscow’s New Opera. His appearances at festivals include the Festival Mitte Europa, Sommerfestival Schloss Gauting, Dresdner Musikfestspiele and Schleswig-Holstein-Musikfestival. On a regular base he is playing with orchestras such as Elblandphilharmonie and Sächsische
Schütze makes his home in Dresden and since 1999 has served on the faculty of the Dresden Hochschule für Musik teaching piano and vocal accompaniment. In 2011 he received a professorship. In addition, he became a faculty member at Dresden’s University for Church Musicians and of Kreismusikschule Dreiländereck where he teaches piano.
Schütze frequently teaches master classes in the United States at California State University Fullerton, the University of Delaware, Brigham Young University (Utah), Azusa Pacific University, the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and Vanguard University (California). In February of 2014, he held a DAAD guest professor position at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He also held an ERASMUS scholarship which took him to teach Masterclasses at Ionia University of Corfu.
In 2016 Schütze collaborated with alto Henriette Gödde when she won 1st prize at the International Robert Schumann Competition. Radio recordings of his work can be heard on the major German public stations MDR and RBB. A CD with Korean art songs performed in collaboration with soprano Yoora Lee-Hoff was released in 2018 on the GENUIN label.
Kerry Jennings
Kerry Jennings is an Associate Professor of Music and Director of Opera at Cal State Fullerton. His stage direction has recently been recognized with 1st and 2nd Place Awards in the National Opera Association’s Collegiate Opera Scenes Competition with scenes from The Ballad of Baby Doe (2021) and Der Rosenkavalier (2020), as well as being named a national finalist for The American Prize in Collegiate Opera Direction for his production of Massenet’s Cendrillon. This year, scenes under his direction and featuring students from the CSUF Opera Program were chosen as national finalists in both the undergraduate and graduate divisions, as students performed scenes from La Rondine and Don Pasquale at the NOA national convention in Houston, TX. Additional directorial credits encompass works from Monteverdi to composers of the 21st Century and include highlights such as L’Incoronazione di Poppea, Dido and Aeneas, Cosí fan tutte, Hänsel und Gretel, La bella dormente nel bosco, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi, Amahl and the Night Visitors, The Old Maid and the Thief, Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters, Sorry, Wrong Number, and The Cows of Apollo.
Jennings joined the faculty of the International Lyric Academy in Vicenza, Italy where he directed The Old Maid and the Thief. He returned the next year to ILA to direct Le nozze di Figaro in Charlotte, NC and Vicenza. Previously, he directed Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte for the Austrian American Vocal Academy at the Kleines Theater in Salzburg.
Before turning to a concentration in directing, Jennings’ performance highlights included over forty lead and supporting roles comprised of early, standard, and contemporary repertoire, recently singing the role of Ernesto in Don Pasquale in Sankt Anton, Austria. As a concert soloist, he has been heard in works by J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Händel, Haydn, Mozart, Puccini, Saint-Saëns, Rachmaninoff, Vaughan Williams, Britten, Fonseco, Orff, Rorem, and others.
Noted for his “beautiful voice, great diction, and uncanny sense of style and phrasing,” Jennings recording In My Memory: American Songs and Song Cycles on Centaur Records was met with acclaim from both the composers and critics alike and features works by Libby Larsen, Tom Cipullo, Lori Laitman, and Richard Pearson Thomas. Libby Larsen has called Kerry’s recording of her cycle My Àntonia “the definitive reference performance for future performances.” He is also featured on David Arbury’s CD Alchemy and as tenor soloist on the Houston Camerata’s recording of Fonseca’s Missa Afro-Brasileira. He is currently working on his second solo disc of American Song Cycles. Jennings was a District Winner and Regional Finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.
Jennings is a member of several music organizations, including NATS, Opera America, The Recording Academy, The College Music Society, and NOA, where he is on his third cycle as a member of the Dominick Argento Chamber Opera Competition Committee.
