A W E LCO ME F ROM THE DEAN OF COLLEGE OF T HE AR T S Welcome to the fall performance season at Clayes Performing Arts Center. As you arrived, you may have noticed that the southwest corner of campus looked a bit different than when you last visited. I am thrilled to announce that the Visual Arts Modernization Project is well underway! The project will add two new buildings: a single-level structure comprised of the four existing galleries and a two-story building along State College Blvd, containing technology-driven classrooms, office space, a research library, and collaborative teaching and learning spaces. This newly reimagined visual arts complex will have a lasting impact on the college and the community, transforming how we teach, learn, engage with, and experience art.

Despite the disruptions to the college caused by this much-needed renovation, we are committed to delivering the same high-quality, pre-professional arts training our 2,800 students expect; this season’s offerings are no exception. Our thriving community of artists, technicians, and educators have combined their formidable skills to deliver a fall semester of programming shaped by the same diversity reflected on our campus. This September, the Begovich Visual Arts Lecture Series began introducing students and the public to a BIPOC slate of innovative and prominent arts professionals. On October 1, the School of Music’s Bill Cunliffe, Rodolfo Zuniga, and their jazz ensembles kick off October in Meng Concert Hall (along with a surprise guest!).

Meanwhile, Theatre productions focus on personal and timeless struggles: Jessica Swale’s “Blue Stockings” tells the empowering story of four young women fighting against sexism for their right to a university education in 18th century England, and in “She Kills Monsters,” identity and fantasy converge to create a modern coming-of-age story. CSUF dancers and choreographers close the season with Fall Dance Theatre’s “Momentum,” centered on the human impulse to seek, strive, and move forward to motivate change.

As we begin the 2022 fall semester anticipating the transformative changes ahead, we remain dedicated to enhancing the academic and creative potential of the current students within this living laboratory for the arts. Their success is uniquely measured in phrases of choreography, lines of dialogue, sheets of music, and slabs of clay as our students actively work towards impacting the arts of the future. You demonstrate your unwavering commitment to our students when you attend productions, concerts, and exhibitions in the College of the Arts. Embrace the limitless possibilities their future holds. Support the College of the Arts at any level by donating to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence today (arts.fullerton.edu/giving).

Thank you for joining us. I’m so proud of our students and what they have created for you tonight.

Enjoy the show! I know you will be equally impressed.

Arnold Holland, Ed.D.

ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR

DUSTIN BARR Dustin Barr is Director of Wind Studies and Associate Professor of Music at California State University, Fullerton where he actively manages all aspects of the university’s comprehensive band program, conducts the Wind Symphony and University Band, oversees the graduate wind conducting program, and teaches courses in conducting and music education. Prior experiences include appointments as Assistant Director of Bands at Michigan State University, Director of Bands at Mt. San Antonio College and Assistant Director of Bands at Esperanza High School in Anaheim, California.

Barr is a recipient of numerous accolades for his conducting and scholarly work. Most recently, the CSUF Wind Symphony was named a winner of the 2021 Ernst Bacon Memorial Prize for the Performance of American Music by the American Prize organization.

Another signal honor was the ensemble’s invitation to perform at the 2019 National Conference of the College Band Directors National Association. The Wind Symphony’s forthcoming album, Effigy, is also a noteworthy achievement. It is the result of innovative musical practices and remote recording projects undertaken during the Covid-19 pandemic. Beyond CSUF, he has been a guest conductor of prominent ensembles like the United States Army Band “Pershing’s Own” and the Air Force Band of the Golden West. He was a finalist for the American Prize in Conducting, a Rackham Merit Fellow at the University of Michigan, and was recognized as one of the nation’s preeminent young conductors as part of the 2010 National Band Association’s Young Conductor Mentor Project. He is a regular conductor/clinician for Disney Imagination Campus.

Barr’s research includes working extensively with theatre director Jerald Schwiebert on the melding of performance theory with a variety of movement theories and disciplines to establish innovative pedagogical approaches to teaching conducting. Their co-authored book, Expressive Conducting: Movement and Performance Theory for Conductors, was published by Routledge in 2018. This work has made him a highly regarded pedagogue in the field conducting. He has given numerous masterclasses throughout the USA and Spain. Furthermore, his research on Scandinavian music for chamber wind ensembles has produced published performance editions of Asger Lund Christiansen’s Octet, op. 43 and Svend Schultz’s Divertimento for Wind Octet.

Barr holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in conducting from the University of Michigan. He received his Master of Music degree and Bachelor of Music degree from California State University, Fullerton. His principal conducting mentors include Michael Haithcock and Mitchell Fennell.
