Greetings from the College of the Arts! It’s so good to have you back, and we have an exceptional spring season planned for you. With programming ranging from groundbreaking theatre productions to World-Premiere concerts, our spring offerings seem to shine a bit brighter this semester. On January 28, we kicked things off with the Visual Arts Modernization Project Preview Event and groundbreaking ceremony. More than 100 invited guests joined us for a sneak peek of the project as they engaged with some of the latest technology-driven art tools, experienced AR/VR project demonstrations by visual arts students, and viewed scale models of the complex.

When completed, this renovation will transform our campus and community, positioning CSUF’s visual arts program – the largest in the Cal State system – as a leader in cutting-edge art education and practice within the CSUs. Follow our progress and join us on this extraordinary journey at art.fullerton.edu/vamod.

This season’s fresh slate of visual arts exhibitions and performing arts concerts and productions are sure to keep you coming back to campus! Beginning February 18, Begovich Gallery presents the exhibition “Figures, Poses, and Glances: The Coded Illustrations of J.C Leyendecker,” at MUZEO Museum & Cultural Center, exploring the coded depictions of queer culture in the eradefining images of this early twentieth-century American illustrator. The School of Music honors Black History Month with a performance of “Symphony No. 1 in E minor” by composer Florence Price – the first Black female composer to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra. In Theatre, Maria Cominis’ “Women of Zalongo” weaves together the experiences of four generations of Greek women into a story of resilience, struggle, and survival. And in May, our student dancers and choreographers collaborate in rhythmic, expressive movement as “Spring Dance Theatre” returns to the Little Theatre.

Our diverse programming mirrors the diversity of the College of the Arts and is a testament to the values we hold. We embrace the possibility inherent in each of our students and celebrate their successes alongside them on their path to becoming future artists, educators, performers, and arts professionals. As patrons, donors, friends, and family, I know you also champion their success.

Demonstrate your commitment to the future of the arts by supporting the Dean’s Fund for Excellence at any level. Donate today at arts.fullerton.edu/giving.

I invite you to visit to campus our again for another performance, or to check out our progress as the Visual Arts Modernization Project moves into the next phase of construction. You may have even seen the walls of one of our new buildings going up along State College Blvd! Whatever brings you here, welcome. We are so proud to show you all that the College of the Arts at Cal State Fullerton has to offer.

ABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST

Carolyn TRUE Carolyn True is a pianist equally at home on the concert stage and in the teaching studio. She walks the delicate balance between teaching at Trinity University (San Antonio, TX), giving workshops, master classes, seminars, and adjudicating, and actively performing as soloist and chamber musician in the United States, Europe, India, and Taiwan.

A compassionate and challenging professor, True is carrying on the family tradition teaching individual lessons, piano ensemble, piano literature, piano pedagogy, piano class, accompanying, and other related courses. In 2000, True was recognized as the Texas Music Teachers Association’s Collegiate Teacher of the Year and in 2010 was awarded the highest honor to a faculty member at Trinity University – the Dr. and Mrs. Z.T. Scott Faculty Fellowship award. In 2019, she was honored with three national awards—MTNA Foundation Fellow, NCKP Service to the Profession, and an induction into the Steinway Teacher Hall of Fame. She is in demand as an adjudicator/clinician, working with local, state, national, and international contests, including chairing the jury of the Gina Bachauer International Young Artists Piano Competition. This year she is a member of the international panel of judges for the Gurwitz International Piano Competition.

The CD, Carolyn True 1, features works of Ligeti, Bach/Brahms, Beethoven, and Bennett. She has edited two volumes of piano works by Starer (Sketches in Color) and Milhaud (A Child’s Loves). A Duo Piano CD—Bradley Beckman & Carolyn True 2— contains the works of of Barber, Bernstein, and Piazzolla. Beckman and True compiled and edited a graded volume of piano duets—Duet Discoveries. Another collection of duets —the duet companion to Journey through the Classics—is forthcoming. The Beckman/True duo has adjudicated and performed in venues across the globe, most notably in MusiQuest, a weeklong piano festival in Pune, India.

In addition to her solo and duo work, True is a core member of the award-winning SOLI Chamber Ensemble, the resident chamber ensemble of Trinity University. SOLI has commissioned over 60 works, including composers Mackey, Moravec, and Rorem and regularly serves as the ensemble in residence for composition festivals (Alba Composition Festival in Alba, Italy), Universities (Crane School of Music, Hartt School of Music, etc.), and has presented at local, state, and national conventions (SxSW, MTNA, etc.). In 2013 their mission to promote contemporary music to audiences of all ages resulted in the ASCAP/CMA Award for Adventurous programming.They can be heard on several CDs (Portraits, Musica, por un tiempo, Overland Dream: The Music of Peter Lieuwen, vol. 1, Roadshow for Thora—Carl Schimmel). SOLI’s work with Lieuwen reached a climax in March 2016, when they premiered the first ever QUAD Concerto with the University of Houston Symphony Orchestra.

True holds the prestigious Performer’s Certificate and the D.M.A. degree from the Eastman School of Music, an M.M. from the University of Maryland-College Park, and the B.M. from the University of Central Missouri (where in 2001, she was chosen as the Pi Kappa Lambda Distinguished Music Alumna) and was a prize-winner in national and international competitions. She was also the recipient of a Rotary Foundation Scholarship for study at the Conservatoire National de la Musique in Lyon, France. Her teachers have included three Trues of distinction (Marilyn–pre-college, Wesley–undergraduate, Nelita–graduate studies), Thomas Schumacher, Jean Barr, and Eric Heidsieck.

PIANISTSINPERFORMANCE Pianists In Performance (“P-I-P”) is an outreach program seeking community members with grand pianos, and people who want to hear them really played! Such enthusiasts become “P-I-P Hosts” and are matched with emerging young keyboard artists from CSUF, “P-I-P Artists.” Our artists are selected by audition and have repertoire ready to perform for you!

Contact Dr. Rob Watson, curator (657) 278-2575 rwatson@fullerton.edu to learn how to join a growing number of service organizations, schools, and private homes throughout the southland who have already experienced the thrill of outstanding piano performance!
