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 diferent 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, ofce 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 oferings 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 refected 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 Cunlife, Rodolfo Zuniga, and their jazz ensembles kick of 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 fghting 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.

DAVID GRIMES

David Grimes was a staunch advocate for the guitar in so many ways—as Director of the Classical Guitar Studies at Cal State Fullerton, and as a performer, composer, arranger, writer, and conductor of the Orange County Guitar Orchestra for many years. He is remembered as a gentle and passionate educator who launched the classical guitar program in Cal State Fullerton’s Department of Music, building it into a program of distinction in the current School of Music.

David was frst introduced to the guitar when he was a junior math major at Caltech and heard a recording of Andrés Segovia. He completed his degree in mathematics and subsequently worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena for several years while he pursued his guitar studies with Guy Horn and Oscar Ghiglia. For eighteen years, he was President of the Guitar Foundation of America and served the organization tirelessly. More recently, he was a Reviews Editor for Soundboard magazine. His Mel Bay editions of The Complete Sor Studies and The Complete Giuliani Studies are pedagogical staples.

As a soloist, David performed extensively throughout North America and Europe, and was in demand as a conductor and a competition judge. His interest in the guitar’s predecessors led to his edition of Luys Milan: the Complete Fantasias and the celebrated series, Treasures of the Baroque, published by Mel Bay Publications. At the other end of the spectrum, he encouraged and worked actively with contemporary composers to create new guitar works. Many composers wrote pieces for guitar after hearing a David Grimes performance. His own compositions are now being performed by prominent guitarists throughout the world.
