A Magazine for Alumni & Friends

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN I could not be more pleased to share this Alumni Magazine with the many graduates, friends, and supporters of the College of Music.

The Fall 2016 edition of the Magazine ends a five-year publication hiatus and provides an opportunity to bring you up to date on some of the exciting things that have been happening around the College.

You’ll see that our students, faculty, and programs continue to thrive, leading the way within new trends affecting society, education, and the arts. At FSU, career readiness, practical experience, community outreach, social justice, and entrepreneurship have long been hallmarks of our music programs. We see positive outcomes in College of Music graduates who create successful lives in music and the arts, but we can always do more. You’ll read about some of these initiatives in the pages that follow.

Since arriving as Dean of the College of Music in summer 2013, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of meeting generations of alumni, spanning the 1950s through today’s most recent cohort. As an FSU alumna (PhD 1981), I’ve enjoyed looking back at our storied history, reveling in present achievements, and imagining the future for today’s students.

In talking with alumni, I have heard many anecdotes about things that happened some 60 years ago — the retelling of funny stories, legendary tales, and profound moments that changed lives. The chronological connections from past to present are too numerous to mention, but here are a few examples that I’ve observed since moving back to Tallahassee three years ago. Upon arriving, I learned that Ella Scoble Opperman’s original home was listed for sale in Midtown (I did not buy it, but it was tempting), and that the Ernst von Dohnányi home was still standing near what is now Cascades Park. Through interactions with alumni, I know that members of Wiley Housewright’s University Singers in the early 1950s have fulfilled meaningful

careers in music and chosen to give back to the College these many years later.

I’ve met graduates of the Florida State College for Women (1905-1947) who still come to campus for College of Music concerts, supporting music students 70 years their junior. I hear from former Marching Chiefs what it was like to play in the band when women had to march in skirts! This year, the FSU Summer Music Camps celebrated its 75th anniversary and it seems like everyone in the state of Florida either attended the camps or knows someone who did. The FSU Fight Song, written by Tommie Wright, and the Hymn to the Garnet and the Gold, written by J. Dayton Smith, still ring strong over campus and throughout the nation. The College of Music has a long history of excellence and an unbroken thread of continuity through most of the 20th century and into the 21st.

The metaphor of “family” may be over-used but it certainly applies here: we are a large, extended family characterized by excellence, resilience, and longevity.

On behalf of the College of Music, I hope the reinstated Alumni Magazine will serve as a postcard from home, bringing you up to date on our comings and goings. I extend appreciation to Dr. Stan Pelkey, Associate Dean for Engagement and Entrepreneurship, for taking the lead on production of the Magazine. We would love to hear from you with news items for future editions so please stay in touch. And, as always, please accept our sincere thanks for your friendship and support.

Yours truly,

Current DM student Ryan Reynolds and fellow members of the Akropolis Reed Quintet toured extensively and commissioned new works from Gregory Wanamaker, John Steinmetz, David Biedenbender, and Rob Deemer for their third album, The Space Between Us, due out in Fall 2016. In February, Akropolis launched “Akropolis WORKS,” a residency program designed to help students develop entrepreneurial skills. The inaugural residency took place at the University of Michigan. Akropolis received the 2015 Fischoff Educators award for creative educational programming and a 2016 Chamber Music America Residency Partnership grant to support outreach performances in downtown Detroit. Ryan taught masterclasses across the country and will be recording a new nine-player chamber version of Carl Nielsen’s Clarinet Concerto and the composer’s original Serenata in vano with legendary clarinetist, David Shifrin.

Aliza Llovet and Natalie Quintana, graduate students in Music Therapy, received a $5,000 grant from the Jim Moran Institute in the College of Business to support their project, “The Creation, Evaluation, and Commercialization of a Music Therapy Mobile App.” The app will act as a media playlist and store, where a cappella lullabies are organized into 30-minute-long sets and by one of six languages. In each set, the music systematically decreases in speed and volume in order to meet therapeutic goals. The app will be available free on the Apple Store and for the Android market, while each individual set of lullabies will be available for purchase. Funds generated will support the National Institute of Infant & Child Medical Music Therapy, a partnership between Florida State University and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare.

AT THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC STANLEY C. PELKEY

Faculty and students of the College of Music continue to champion the creation and performance of new music. In doing so, they build upon foundations laid by generations of FSU faculty, students, and alumni who have expanded the body of classical music and jazz heard across Florida, the United States, and the world.

The Biennial Festival of New Music is one of the most significant means by which the College of Music supports the creation and performance of new music. The Fifteenth Biennial Festival (January 27–29, 2011) featured composer Paul Moravec and the Brentano String Quartet as Wiley and Lucilla Housewright Eminent Scholar Chairs in Music. (Housewright Scholars have been featured at Biennial Festivals since Gunther Schuller’s residency in 1988–1989.) Moravec was the winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in Music and has received commissions from ensembles and institutions across the United States.

The Festival’s concerts featured three works by Moravec—including “Northern Lights Electric,” performed by the University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dr. Alexander Jiménez.

Composer and Housewright Eminent Scholar Zhou Long was the featured composer for the Sixteenth Biennial Festival (January 31–February 2, 2013).

Long received the Pulitzer Prize in 2011 for his opera, Madame White Snake. A past performance was screened during the Festival. Long received an Academy Award in Music in 2003 and has worked with ensembles throughout the world. His works draw upon the influences and traditions of both the West and his homeland, China.

The Seventeenth Biennial Festival (January 29–31, 2015) included the residencies of composer David Lang and pianist Ursula Oppens. Lang was named Musical America’s Composer of the Year in 2013 and was the recipient of Carnegie Hall’s Debs Composer’s Chair for 2013– 2014. One highlight of the Festival was the performance of Lang’s The Little Match Girl Passion by the Chamber Choir under the direction of Dr. Kevin Fenton. The Little Match Girl Passion was commissioned by Carnegie Hall for Theatre of Voices and received the Pulitzer Prize in 2008.

Oppens, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, is a champion of new American music. She presented a concert of solo and duo piano music, including Lang’s “before gravity” (2012), “gravity” (2005), and “after gravity” (2007).

Each Festival also featured performances of pieces by College of Music composition faculty and dozens of other guest composers who were selected from among hundreds of applicants through a competitive review process. The Eighteenth Biennial Festival (February 1–4, 2017) will feature guest composer Louis Andriessen and the Bugallo-Williams Piano Duo. Undergraduate and graduate student recitals, faculty recitals, and large ensemble concerts also regularly feature major twentieth-century masterpieces,

new music, and world premieres. During the Fall 2015 University Musical Associates Concert Series, the University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Alexander Jiménez gave the world premiere of Concertante Borealis by Daniel Fulmer (b.

1964) on October 9, 2015. The Concertante featured members of the Trio Bel Canto, including recently retired College of Music saxophone professor, Patrick Meighan. That concert concluded with a rousing performance of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony. On October 5, Richard Clary and the University Wind Orchestra presented a well-received concert of twentieth-century masterworks, including pieces by Hindemith, Persichetti, and Stravinsky, as well as “Sanctuary” (2006)

by Frank Ticheli (b. 1958). Likewise, the first concert of the 2015–2016 Faculty Chamber Music Series featured twelve College of Music faculty in performances of twentieth-century American chamber music for voice and strings composed by Lee Hoiby, Samuel Barber, Ned Rorem, and the College’s own Dr. Timothy Hoekman. The second Faculty Chamber Music Series concert concluded with an inspired performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht by Professors Corinne Stillwell, Shannon Thomas, Pamela Ryan, Greg Sauer, and Evan Jones, with graduate violist Razvan Berindean.

New music continued to be celebrated in the Spring 2016 semester in faculty solo recitals by Shannon Thomas, Heidi Louise Williams, David

Kalhous, and Benjamin Sung, as well as in large ensemble concerts.

Among the most anticipated premiere performances in Fall 2015 was Dr. Ladislav Kubík’s Flashes of Light for percussion, pianos, and trumpets. Guest artist Barbara Butler and FSU Professor Christopher Moore, as well as members of Moore’s trumpet studio, were joined by FSU piano faculty Read Gainsford, Joel Hastings, David Kalhous, and Heidi Louise Williams and students from the percussion studio of Professor John Parks.

Kubík writes that the work was inspired by “the deep history and symbolism of the trumpet...

Associated with the significant, often pivotal moments of life, it is the harbinger of both good and bad news, triumphs and tragedies, blinding jubilance and unfathomable anguish.

Even though the modern trumpet is an excellent concert instrument, I believe we are still impressed with a sense of its timeless symbolic foundation, as we similarly are with the bells or drums.” Kubík chose an ensemble comprising four pianos and percussion instruments because of his “love of the piano (‘my’ instrument) and my rather substantial experience with percussion.”

College of Music composition faculty are actively involved with the Biennial Festival of New Music, but they are also engaged in many other projects.

Mark Wingate (Associate Students conduct and perform in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall at the 2013 Professor of Music FSU Festival of New Music.

Composition) and renowned composer Christopher Theofanidis have been cocommissioned by the Houston-based Apollo Chamber Players to prepare a string quartet with live electronics to be premiered during their 2016–2017 concert

season. This is the second time Wingate and Theofanidis have collaborated. In 2008, they were co-commissioned by the Austin Symphony for “Field of Infinite Forms,” a fivemovement work for orchestra and fixed media utilizing 22 loudspeakers.

Clifton Callender (Professor of Composition) also continues to compose for performances both on and off campus. In 2015, he was an Artist-in-Residence at I-Park, a competitive artist residency in Connecticut, and his work Point and Line to Plane for solo piano was performed throughout China by FSU alumna Hui-Ting Yang. His Canonic Offerings was also performed by the T’ang Quartet at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore as part of Mathemusical Conversation, an international workshop on mathematics and computation in music performance and composition.

Callender’s Metamorphoses II, for violin and piano, was recorded in August 2014 by Emily Hanna Crane (also an FSU alumna) and Hui-Ting Yang and was included as part of the CD Pendulum, released by Parma/Navona Records. February 2016 saw the release of Callender’s gegenschein, for solo violin, on alumnus Piotr Szewczyk’s CD Violin Futura (Navona Records).

March 2016 saw the world premiere of Carlisle Floyd’s latest opera, Prince of Players, which concerns the seventeenth-century English actor Edward Kynaston. Floyd served as a member of the faculty of the College of Music from 1951 to 1976. The Houston Grand Opera commissioned Prince of Players, and Floyd’s work on the opera was featured on OPERA America’s web-based series, “MASTERS AT WORK: Crafting an Opera with CARLISLE FLOYD,” during the past year. The five, livestreamed webcasts featured Floyd and Marc Scorca, President of OPERA America, who moderated questions about the compositional and rehearsal processes from students participating at Florida State University and four other invited universities.

ALUMNI MAGAZINE FALL 2016 7

Finally, in November 2015, three faculty members were represented on five concerts with the Netanya Chamber Orchestra, one of the leading orchestras in Israel. Dr. Alexander Jiménez conducted the ensemble in performances of representative masterpieces that characterized states of mind and experience at the turning points of the past three centuries. In addition to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 (1800), and selections from Sibelius’s Pelléas et Mélisande, Op. 46 (1900), the concerts featured the Clarinet Concerto (2000-2001) by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, Francis Eppes Distinguished Professor of Composition and one of the mostperformed living American composers. Dr. Jon Holden (Assistant Professor of Clarinet) joined Jiménez as soloist on the Clarinet Concerto, which was shaped by the events of 9/11.

On October 28, 2015, I had the opportunity to talk to Ellen Taaffe Zwilich about some of her current and recent projects. Noting that collaboration has been “incredibly gratifying” for her, Zwilich highlighted a new piece for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, her sixth commission for that ensemble. Her Concerto Elegia for Flute and String Orchestra, which she composed in memory of her late husband Erik LaMont, also received its world premiere at the University of Miami on April 18, 2015, and had additional performances in the months after, including at the 2016 National Flute Association Convention.

Given the enhanced focus on entrepreneurship across the University and the College of Music, I asked how young composers could be effective advocates for the arts today.

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich noted that there are “many avenues,” including starting their own ensembles. While being entrepreneurial can lead to success, Zwilich also argued for the personal and career-building potential that can be found in those daily musical activities each of us carries out to maintain ourselves.

Seven years as a violinist in the American

Symphony under Leopold Stokowski gave her many insights into the professional music world, but she also found that her experience teaching a music appreciation class as a young professional in New York City helped her learn to speak about music both to people with technical knowledge about music and to those without such knowledge. “I benefited from thinking about things I was doing as a learning experience.” Young composers must strike the right balance, however, in terms of professional activities. “Don’t lose the dream,” Zwilich said, “but do what you have to [do] to stay afloat.”

Zwilich also advocated cultivating a sense of resilience as a young artist or composer. One must take risks and “stick [your] neck out.” In terms of grants and awards, young composers need to remember, “If you don’t apply, you don’t get [them].” Being turned down is “only the beginning,” Zwilich noted as she urged

young composers to be “gutsy” and “knock on the door again.” None of us can control luck, she said, but “the one thing you can do yourself is to try.” Still, for her, success is not in getting the prize or the grant. She noted, “To me, success is having a wonderful performance of my music and having the time to devote to writing.”

I concluded by asking Ellen Taaffe Zwilich for her advice for alumni of the College who want to more intentionally and effectively build rapport with audiences. “Bringing the audience into the family” is critical, she said, and she urged musicians to speak with and meet the members of their audiences. At the heart of building audience rapport, however, is creating a joyful concert experience. Determination is critical to the craft of the musician and composer, but Zwilich also pointed to the importance of “love and passion” for our work.

The Fall 2015 staging of Rossini’s opera La Cenerentola (Cinderella) featured stellar performers, fanciful and adventurous sets, and gorgeous costumes. Attendance was strong and included many members of the university and community. WFSU, which filmed the opera, broadcast it on its primary television channel—a first for a Florida State Opera production—in May 2016.

GREAT PERF The 20th annual Rainbow Concert, a celebration of the College’s world music ensembles, featured legendary funk musician, George Clinton, in performances of several of his songs, arranged for world music ensembles by Dr. Michael Bakan, professor of ethnomusicology, and keyboard player Daniel Bedrossian, a member of the “P-Funk Family.” Clinton’s participation in the March 2016 concert marked the first time this musical master and the College of Music have officially collaborated.

The College hosted the Badke Quartet, widely recognized as one of Great Britain’s finest string quartets, for a Housewright Eminent Scholars residency in February 2016. In addition to giving masterclasses for violin, viola, and cello, the members of the Badke Quartet offered an outstanding workshop on performing the quartets of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, as well as a presentation on starting, managing, and promoting a chamber ensemble. Those who attended their recital in Opperman Music Hall, pictured above, were amazed by the quartet’s gorgeous tone and exceptionally tight ensemble playing.

Fenton recently received a Fulbright Specialist grant to help introduce a choral conducting curriculum at the Kenya Conservatoire of Music. Fenton, along with Professor Valerie Arsenault and members of the Bach Parley, also spearheaded the creation of the “Bach’s Lunches,” a series of noontime concerts of Baroque Music in the lobby of Ruby Diamond Concert Hall.

In addition to performances in the Faculty Chamber Series and the Faculty Showcase Recitals, several College of Music faculty members gave solo or duo performances during the Spring 2016 semester. Pictured here are Shannon Thomas and Deloise Lima; David Kalhous and Heidi Louise Williams; and Chuck Chandler.

The University Symphony Orchestra and the Florida State Opera program teamed up for a gala concert conducted by Professors Douglas Fisher and Alexander Jiménez in January 2016. Student vocalists presented duos, trios, and quartets from well-known operas with full-orchestral accompaniment. The USO also performed several instrumental excerpts, including the Overture to Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer.

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC

COMINGS & GOIN Each year, the College of Music brings numerous guest artists and scholars to campus to visit studios, present masterclasses, and give guest lectures. These activities enrich the educational experiences of students, strengthen their professional development, and widen the networks of relationships among the College, its students, and music professionals and organizations throughout the

world. Among the College’s most illustrious annual guests are the Wiley & Lucilla Housewright Eminent Scholars, who are chosen from across the spectrum of music professions and who have consistently demonstrated high ideals of teaching, creative activity, and leadership. Sergei Babayan (piano), John Covach (theory), Marilyn Horne (voice), Jim Markey (brass; facing page),

WORLD-RENOWNED SOPRANO RENÉE FLEMING took to the stage in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall for a masterclass with College students in October 2015.

Lenore Rosenberg (voice), Janet Schmalfeldt (theory), the Badke Quartet, and the Philharmonic Quintet of New York were Housewright Eminent Scholars in 2015–2016.

College of Music Students Go Backstage with Major Figures from the World of Opera In October 2015, the College hosted two major figures from the world of professional opera. Lenore Rosenberg, Associate Artistic Administrator of the Metropolitan Opera, presented a masterclass for voice and opera students and also worked one-on-one with students in private lessons. World-renowned soprano Renée Fleming also traveled to Tallahassee as the guest artist for the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra’s 35th Anniversary Gala Concert on October 16. Over 100 voice majors were special guests of the Symphony during the dress rehearsal with Ms. Fleming. The following morning, Ms. Fleming returned to the stage at Ruby Diamond Concert Hall and worked with four graduate students and answered audience questions during a masterclass sponsored by the College of Music and attended by nearly 200 faculty, staff, students, and friends. In February 2016, the College hosted acclaimed mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne. A celebrated opera singer and recitalist, Marilyn Horne is also the Vocal Program Director at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara and the founder of the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Ms.

Horne worked with students in two masterclasses.

Scotty Barnhart (Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies and Director of The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra) was featured on the “Music” episode of the PBS series Craft in America. During the episode, Barnhart demonstrated the unique qualities of the David G. Monette trumpet that he plays. The Monette Corporation of Portland, Oregon, crafts custom-made brass instruments. An interview with Barnhart and excerpts of a special performance at the Monette factory can be viewed at scottybarnhart.com.

Because of the spectacular reputations and quality of College of Music ensembles and their faculty conductors, College of Music students have the opportunity to travel to regional, national, and international venues and to tour at home and abroad.

The University Wind Orchestra performed at the 2015 College Band Directors National Association Conference in Nashville. As with their performance at the CBDNA in 2007, the Wind Orchestra’s invitation came after being identified as the top submission by the conference’s selection committee. The Wind Orchestra also presented the Finale concert for the 2013 American Bandmasters Association in Tampa. The University Symphony

Orchestra was the only orchestra selected to perform at the 2016 American String Teacher’s Association National Conference in Tampa. Finally, the Florida State University Horn Choir was featured at the Southeast Horn Workshop in Baton Rouge in 2014 and the International Horn Symposium in Denton, Texas (2012), Memphis (2013), and Los Angeles (2015).

Gayle Seaton, Program Director for Music Theatre, students Berkley Jones, Angel Lozada, and Graham Mortier, and their accompanist, graduate theory student Jeremie Michael, traveled to Costa Rica in March 2016. They presented staged concerts of music theatre pieces and masterclasses and worked with high-risk students receiving

educational scholarships from the US Embassy.

The highlight of the trip was time spent with children at Cueva de Luz, a community center in the worst slum of San Jose. After returning to Tallahassee, the students presented a Benefit Cabaret and received $800 to support Cueva de Luz. Maris Stella Fernandez, founder of Cueva de Luz, and Rodrigo Duran, organizer of the cultural exchange trip, “Promising Artists of the 21st Century,” at the Centro Cultural Costarricense Norteamericano in San Jose, expressed appreciation for the gift and the relationship

being built between the College and communities in Costa Rica.

The magazine described Chenez’s voice as “bold and assertive but warm-toned and luxurious” and celebrated his “electric presence” and precise diction. Winner of the 2014 George London Foundation Awards Competition – one of the oldest and most prestigious vocal competitions in North America – Chenez made his Lincoln Center debut in the 2014-2015 season as the Sorceress in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.

FACULTY NEWS Denise Von Glahn, the Curtis Mayes Orpheus Professor of Musicology, received the 2015 Pauline Alderman Award for her book Music and the Skillful Listener: American Women Compose the Natural World (IUP, 2013). An adjudicator wrote, “The scope of Von Glahn’s work is impressive as she deftly and convincingly employs ecomusicology to investigate the various ways in which American female musicians have reflected nature in their work.”

Faculty members in the College of Music have released a number of new recordings during the past several years: Marcus Roberts released The Race for the White House in March 2016. Rodney Jordan was featured on the recording, as was recent graduate Boyce Griffith. In 2015, Scotty Barnhart, Director of the Count Basie Orchestra since October 2013, led that group on the very well-received CD The Count Basie Orchestra: A Very Swingin’ Basie Christmas. Michelle Stebleton and Lisa Bontrager released On Safari: MirrorImage Goes Wild; and John Parks IV and members of the FSU Percussion Ensemble performed and recorded Ten Windows. Parks and his students also completed Not Far From Here (2013), which featured music performed at the PASIC 2011 International showcase concert. Faculty CDs in 2014 included Scotty Barnhart’s Say it Plain and Marcus Roberts’ Romance, Swing, and the Blues. In 2013, Jonathan Holden, with the Argot Trio, recorded a new work by Steven Holochwost for the Albany label, Marcus Roberts issued From Rags to Rhythm, and Corinne Stillwell completed Songs of the Soul with Naxos. Corinne Stillwell (violin), Gregory Sauer (cello), and Read Gainsford (piano) released Diamonds in a Haystack (MSR Classics) in 2012, and Timothy Hoekman’s

song, “It was a Lover and Her Lad,” was recorded on the CD From the Heartland by Baritone Robert Peavler and pianist Arlene Shrut. Heidi Louise Williams’s solo piano recording, Drive America, issued in 2011, was named among the top classical albums of 2011 by the Philadelphia City Paper and was listed on the “Critics’ Wants List” in Fanfare Magazine.

In March 2013, the University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Alexander Jiménez completed a critically well-received recording of Ernst von Dohnányi’s powerful second symphony, as well as two songs for baritone and orchestra. Evan T. Jones joined the orchestra as soloist for the songs. John Hadden, recording engineer on the project, notes, “Originally completed in 1944 and then revised in Tallahassee while Dohnányi taught at FSU, the revised version [of the Symphony] received its first performance in 1957 by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra... For the USO recording, some students were even performing from the somewhat yellowed manuscript parts used in this first performance. The symphony is a colossal work, calling for an extraordinarily large orchestra and sometimes described as the last great Romantic symphony... It’s a very complex work, often with several layers of music sounding simultaneously, while demanding utmost musical understanding and maturity from the orchestra.” The Symphony has been performed and recorded before, but the orchestral songs have rarely been heard. Jiménez brought in

FSU alumnus and Dohnányi scholar, Jaymes Grymes, to consult on the project. Together they identified a copy of the original Dohnányi manuscript of the Zwei Orchesterlieder in the Allen Music Library. Grymes confirmed that the work had not been performed since 1920, had never been recorded, and that the original manuscript was still in Hungary. Arrangements were made to obtain the original manuscript, from which Grymes made a performing edition of the work. Violinist Bailey Salinero recalls, “The only way I can describe those recording sessions was magical. We had lived and breathed this piece for weeks. We developed a deep love [for] the second symphony and were committed to bringing it to life...” Hadden concludes, “Throughout the three days of grueling sessions the orchestra remained focused and enthusiastic, always happy to do one more take. The result is a performance which displays the technical mastery as well as musical maturity of which the students, their teachers, and Dr. Jiménez can be extremely proud.”

NEW SPACES

The College’s New Courtyard Has Become a Favorite Gathering Place During Fall 2015, a new courtyard was installed just off the breezeway between the Kuersteiner and Housewright Music Buildings. After the 1990 renovation of Kuersteiner, which included the addition of the elevator serving the Opperman Music Hall lobby, the little courtyard area was serviceable but utilitarian, and the consensus was that it never lived up to its potential to become a gathering spot. That has now changed, as the new courtyard features a large, circular concrete planter with a surrounding bench, as well as new plantings along its perimeter.

Ideas for the new courtyard took shape in 2012. At that time, FSU began a fundraising initiative called “The Great Give.” Each college had a fundraising goal that could be marketed so that donors could find ideas that interested them related to particular groups or units on campus. At the same time, Aaron Witek (DM, 2013), one of the graduate student representatives to the Dean’s Student Advisory Council (DSAC), focused that group’s conversations on potential outdoor improvements around the College of Music; one of his ideas was a project in the courtyard. Associate Director of Grounds at FSU, Anton Sonkin, created a concept for a musical courtyard that the College of Music then used for the Great Give campaign, which raised just over $4,000 in small, individual donations.

In 2013, the overall cost to create the concept as envisioned by Anton was projected as being between $100,000 and $200,000, and it was decided that the courtyard project needed to be completed in stages, with the infrastructure work coming first. The first stage was planned and constructed for $75,000, with funding from the College using various sources and gifts. In addition, the Grounds department provided the plant material plus the labor for both the plantings and the installation of the irrigation system. Students now enjoy the resulting courtyard on a daily basis, as do guests attending concerts and recitals in the evenings. Future projects to add more details and seating will be considered as donors come forward to help enhance the space.
