Welcome to the College of the Arts fall 2023 performing and visual arts season. I am so proud of the collaborative efforts our faculty, staff, and students have undertaken to produce such a wide array of programming across four disciplines. It takes months, sometimes years, of work to create what you are about to enjoy – a commitment matched only by our collective passion for the arts.

Each year, the college presents a wide variety of programming that reflects our diverse perspectives. In Theatre, the season begins with a stage adaptation of the hauntingly emotional novel and film “Let the Right One In,” which reveals both the darkest impulses of humanity and our universal desire for connection. Acclaimed 1975 hit musical “A Chorus Line” gets a fresh update by Marty Austin Lamar and Courtney Ozovek that will immerse audiences in the audition process of a Broadway show. In the School of Music, the Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and University Symphony Orchestra perform together in the first ever “Fullerton Pops!” Also in November, Begovich Gallery explores the midcentury architecture and aesthetics of our original Visual Arts Complex in the exhibition “PAST FORWARD.” While Begovich Gallery looks back at our historical beginnings, we continue to push toward the future as the Visual Arts Modernization Project (VA MOD) rapidly transforms the campus.

Our complex’s two new buildings are fully framed, architectural details have been installed, and extensive interior renovations on two existing buildings are nearing completion. These changes bring years of dreaming and planning into sharp focus, but there is so much work yet to be done. From exterior paint to integrate our past and present buildings, to restoring the beloved “Water Wall” sculpture, to new software that will power the next generation of digital artists, there are many ways you can make a difference. Visit the VA MOD web page for more details (art.fullerton.edu/va-mod).

The ways in which our students will benefit from the modernization project are as limitless as their imaginations, and as assured as our commitment to their success. In the College of the Arts, we measure student achievement in creativity, artistic integrity, and dedication, not in data points or statistics. We know you support our students because they give to you through their artistry – it’s something you feel, something that moves you. By strengthening this powerful bond, you empower students to thrive by supporting their creative and academic success.

If you share in the belief that the arts matter, please consider a donation of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence (giving.fullerton.edu).

Whether this is your first theatre production or your twenty-first concert, know that you are an appreciated member of our Titan community. Thank you for joining us today and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,

Arnold Holland, Ed.D Dean, College of the Arts

ABOUT MARTHA BAKER JORDAN Dr. Martha Baker-Jordan served as Professor of Piano and Piano Pedagogy at California State University, Fullerton, for 34 years. A recipient of numerous awards for teaching excellence, she is known for designing and implementing the Bachelor and Master’s Degrees in Piano Pedagogy at CSUF. A member of the Bachma Duo under the auspices of Columbia Artists, her background and training focused on piano performance, yet she chose to specialize in the art of piano teaching, with emphasis on piano pedagogy and group piano instruction for her career.

As an author, she made significant contributions to the piano pedagogy field in her numerous published articles and piano instruction books. Her best-selling piano pedagogy text, Practical Piano Pedagogy, has stood out over the past decades as one of the top piano pedagogy textbooks for college and university programs.

A frequent presenter at the state, national and international levels, Dr. Baker-Jordan also served in many leadership capacities for the National Conference on Piano Pedagogy from its inception (later the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy).

Her contributions as editor for the NCPP Proceedings were significant and in 2011, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy. More recently, in October 2022, she was recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the California Association of Professional Music Teachers (CAPMT, a Music Teachers National Association affiliate), on which occasion she gave a comprehensive presentation for conference attendees and student alumni.

While Dr. Baker-Jordan’s contributions to Piano Pedagogy nationally and at Cal State Fullerton were substantive, she will more personally be forever remembered for her devotion to her piano pedagogy students and those who were her private piano students. She was beloved by her students, for whom she had high standards in scholarship, performance and teaching practicum. Her legacy to the art of piano pedagogy lives on through her students’ lives, whether amateur pianists, professional musicians, or “practical piano pedagogues.”

ABOUT EDUARDO DELGADO International audiences and critics alike have consistently recognized the fiery intensity that Eduardo Delgado projects from the stage. “Virtuosity, clean sound, and passion. The best” (La Capital). This is the latest international acclaim for Delgado from a November performance both as a soloist and with Martha Argerich at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.

Together they played what critics hailed as an “unforgettable” version for two pianos of Tres Romances by Carlos Guastavino.

Delgado’s repertoire from Bach to modern composers shows that music affects him deeply, emotion that he shares freely with every audience. “Music has been my life and my passion since my first recital when I was seven,” he says.

Delgado’s appearances have spread across four continents—Europe, South America, Asia, and North America.

Following an appearance in Tokyo in the Pablo Casals Hall, critics hailed a “marvelous performance, deeply emotional as well as lyrical” (Musica Nova). Norwegian critics described him as “a pianist of a thousand nuances, a fantastic experience.” In Russia, “Delgado’s Bach had brilliance, a profound meditation and a musical tone rarely heard” (Sovietskaya Kultura).

Born in Rosario, Argentina, Delgado began his early training with his mother, Amelia, followed by studies with Arminda Canteros in Rosario, and then continued with Sergio Lorenzi in Venice, Vicente Scaramuzza in Buenos Aires, Dora Zaslavsky of the Manhattan School of Music, and Rosina Lhevinne of the Juilliard School. His many awards and prizes include the Vladimir Horowitz Award, and grants from the Mozarteum Argentino, Martha Baird Rockefeller, and the Concert Artists Guild.

Delgado has participated on such international competition juries as the William Kapell, the Gina Bachauer, and the Vega in Japan. In 2003, he served as a juror in the 2nd Martha Argerich International Piano Competition in Buenos Aires. He has been on artist faculties of several universities in Japan as well as in California, and is in demand for piano master classes and workshops, such as his master class series in Osaka in 2004.

Delgado has recorded with tenor José Cura for Erato Records and also the complete solo piano music of Alberto Ginastera in two volumes for MA Records in Tokyo. He recently recorded a CD in Buenos Aires of romantic works of Schumann, Chopin, and Mendelssohn. Martha Argerich presented Delgado at the 1997 Verbier Festival in Switzerland, at her festival in Lugano in 2002, and at the Argerich Festival in Buenos Aires in 2001 and 2003. He spent the summer of 2004 giving concerts and recitals across Argentina.

In 1999 Delgado was awarded a medal by UNESCO of Buenos Aires, and also by the Mayor of Rosario, his hometown, for his contribution as an ambassador of music.

In 2003, he received the Magazine Award in Rosario.

Delgado founded the Castle Green Historic & Cultural Society in Pasadena, California, where he resides.
