Welcome to the spring 2026 events season at Cal State Fullerton’s College of the Arts.

We have been hard at work in every classroom, practice room, and studio across campus preparing to share new sounds and bold creativity with all of you. We are thrilled you are here.

Our students and their success form the core of our purpose in the College of the Arts but unlike their counterparts in other colleges, their paths are not solely formed through classroom learning; they are revealed in the moments when talent meets opportunity.

Like when a dancer attends an intensive, or when a musician travels abroad on tour, or an actor or artist is mentored – this is where promise is transformed into possibility.

The Dean’s Fund for Excellence gives students access to meaningful experiences like these and many more, including masterclasses, research opportunities, materials, and professional conferences. You can help ensure creativity isn’t limited by circumstance.

Consider a gift of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence today.

This spring semester is brimming with performances and exhibitions for all to enjoy – some that will make you laugh and others that will make you think. In the School of Music, Sibarg Ensemble, featuring our own Hessam Abedini, explores the musical intersections of Iranian music and jazz on February 20. In April, Benjamin Britten’s comic opera “Albert Herring” follows the shy, virtuous title character as he rebels against his prudish upbringing. Join us in the Little Theatre beginning March 5 for the musical “Once Upon a Mattress” – an uproarious sendup of Hans Christian Anderson’s fairytale, “The Princess and the Pea.” If you’re craving something completely different, Eugène Ionesco’s “Rhinoceros” opens March 19 to hold a mirror to the absurdity of mob mentality and the struggle to maintain individuality in the face of mass hysteria. And in late spring, our dancers and choreographers return to demonstrate their inimitable power and grace in “Spring Dance Theatre.”

Across the walkway from where you’re seated are the College of the Arts Galleries.

You can still catch exhibitions from Soo Kim and Carol Caroompas until May, or stop by the galleries on Wednesdays for our bi-weekly Student Galleries opening receptions.

They are always full of energy, and you might even find student artwork to purchase and take home!

Whether you’re returning to our venues or here for the first time, we are so excited to present another season to you. Thank you for joining us.

Sincerely, Arnold Holland, EdD Dean, College of the Arts

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

TERYN RÉ Deriving influences from jazz artists such as Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, and Ella Fitzgerald, Teryn Ré has developed her own unique sound which she enjoys sharing in both her performing and teaching. She performs regularly with her big band (The Teryn Ré Big Band), small band, and duo in local L.A. jazz clubs such as The Baked Potato, the Blue Whale, and O.C. venues such as Campus Jax. Recently she has performed regularly at the new club, the Jazz Lounge, in San Diego, as well as the 1905 in Portland, OR. She has released several albums, including her self-titled “The Teryn Ré Big Band” album, a chord-less trio album, and several singer/songwriter albums.

Although Teryn loves performing, she loves teaching at the college level and encouraging students to pursue their own sound. She currently teaches at Fullerton College, Chapman University, Cal State Fullerton, and El Camino College. Other schools include Azusa Pacific University, Golden West College, Cerritos College, Citrus College, and the Orange County School of the Arts. She directs multiple vocal jazz ensembles, and teaches applied vocal jazz lessons at various schools.
