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.

From 2018-2022, he was the executive and artistic director of the ROCmusic Collaborative, an El Sistema-inspired organization in Rochester, NY. Prior to his arrival at the Eastman School of Music, he was assistant professor, associate director of bands, and coordinator of instrumental music education at the University of Memphis. There, he conducted the symphonic band, the marching band, and taught courses in music education. Additionally, he co-designed the University of Memphis’s online Master of Music Education program. From 2002-10, he served as director of bands at Dunckel Middle School and, from 2003-09, assistant director of the North Farmington High School “Raider” Marching Band in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

Hall earned his Doctor of Music Arts in wind conducting at Michigan State University with Dr. Kevin Sedatole, and Master of Music and Bachelor of Music degrees in music education from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor – studying clarinet with Deborah Chodacki.

Hall is active as a commissioner of music, having commissioned instrumental music for beginning through advanced ensembles by established and emerging composers. As a guest conductor, he has been invited to lead regional honor ensembles, collegiate ensembles, and Community ensembles, such as the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and the American Wind Symphony Orchestra. He is also active as an adjudicator, clinician, and panelist. He has presented lectures, clinics, adjudicated for and participated in panels at the Midwest Music Clinic in Chicago, American String Teachers Association National Conference, National Association for Music Education Regional Conference, and MusicFest Canada-The Nationals.

Equally dedicated to teaching and teacher training, he is the educational director and teaching artist for the Archipelago Project, a non-profit organization charged with engaging students in music and their instruments by teaching multiple folk idioms using pedagogical techniques based on the Venezuelan El Sistema model. Dr. Hall’s work in El Sistema-inspired programs began with a life-altering trip to Venezuela as a guest artist, where he witnessed the deepest level of community and audience engagement with music. Thus, with the Archipelago Project, he has traveled throughout the United States and Venezuela teaching music students, training instructors, and performing for their communities. He is a board member of El Sistema USA®, to support music-making and in diverse communities across the country and is currently chair of the board.

ABOUT THE GUEST 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 Barr 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.

ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR

The SCHOOL OF MUSIC was among the first academic programs offered when Cal State Fullerton opened its main campus in 1960. From the very beginning, the emphasis on musical performance in an academically stimulating environment has been a cornerstone of the School of Music.

The members of the CSUF Wind Symphony and CSUF Symphonic Winds study and perform music as part of an overall university curriculum that prepares musicians for careers in the performing arts, education and business. With a strong emphasis on musical performance, the students in both of these ensembles are also part of an ongoing effort to perpetuate and maintain a great American cultural tradition.

Our purpose in studying and performing this music is to develop an appreciation for the music of our time, to further the tradition of excellence in wind performance at Cal State Fullerton as well as the traditions of the American concert band, and to provide an educational foundation from which our students and audience can contribute to the cultural landscape of society.
