Welcome to the Spring 2024 Performing Arts Season at Cal State Fullerton’s College of the Arts. Whether you are a first-time or long-time patron, a friend, or parent to one of our exceptional students, thank you for joining us. Your support makes all the difference to their success.
I am pleased to present another semester of programming powered by the incredible gifts of our Art, Dance, Music, and Theatre students. This spring, the School of Music starts the season with a trio of concerts February 16–18 by artists-in-residence Talich Quartet; faculty artist Damon Zick and his Quarteto Nuevo featuring fellow faculty artist Bill Cunliffe; and University Symphony Orchestra. In May, University Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Chorus will close the concert season with a performance of Mozart’s emotionally charged “Requiem.” Begovich Gallery presents the Begovich Visual Arts Lecture Series with visiting artists’ talks throughout the semester, including multidisciplinary artist Hings Lim on February 22, whose work will also be exhibited at Grand Central Art Center. The Department of Theatre and Dance begins their season in March with “Marisol,” a darkly comedic fantasy where the title character must find hope in a post-apocalyptic Brooklyn where angels are taking up arms and coffee is extinct. Hilarious, multiple Tony award-winning modern musical send-up “Urinetown” closes the theatre season just as CSUF’s dancers and choreographers take to the stage for “Spring Dance Theatre.”
When our students demonstrate their talents on stage and in the studio, their creative energy is undeniable, but the sacrifice and struggle it took to get there is often less perceptible. We can’t see the hours spent creating, the days of rehearsals, and the years of practice. For many students, the sparks of innovation and artistry that drove them to pursue the arts are often diminished by the high cost of an education. The Dean’s Fund for Excellence provides support for students in need through scholarships, artist residencies, and other financial assistance, ensuring them the opportunity to thrive in the arts. If you believe in their sparks of brilliance, please consider a donation of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence.
Thank you again for joining us this season and for championing the arts in higher education. I hope to see you at one of the college’s many performances and events this spring.
Sincerely,
Arnold Holland, EdD Dean, College of the Arts

She holds a Master of Music degree in vocal performance from California State University, Fullerton and a Bachelor of Arts degree in music and psychology from California Baptist University.

Prado performs throughout the Southern California region in concert and recital settings. She has performed with worldrenowned ensembles and conductors such as the Pacific Symphony with Maestro Carl St. Clair, the Los Angeles Philharmonic with conductor Esa Pekka Salonen and the Hollywood Bowl orchestra under the direction of John Mauceri. She has also been privileged to share the stage with operatic singers, Alessandra Marc, Richard Margison, Rodney Gilfrey and Andrea Bocelli. Her most recent operatic role was the lead role of the Duchess in Powder Her Face by Thomas Adés, a role appointed by the composer himself.
In addition to teaching and performing, Prado is also in demand as an adjudicator, choral clinician and vocal coach for local school programs and festivals. Earlier this year, she presented a session at CASMEC entitled, “Showing, Not Telling: The Effectiveness of Non-Verbal Communication in Choral Conducting.” She has also assisted on several recording projects as a vocal coach and vocal producer at Skywalker Ranch and Sony Pictures Studios and continues to connect with singers and educators across the country through various singing and speaking engagements.
Mezzo-soprano Jane Hyun-Jyng Shim, a native of Korea, is known as a rich, clear and sensitive singer. She studied at Cal State University, Fullerton. While in school, she was coached as a soprano and has performed many soprano roles. She also won several competitions while in school. She is now a familiar face to Orange County choral music audiences as a mezzo-soprano.
Since joining Pacific Chorale in 1999, she has appeared as a soloist in many works, including Bach's Mass in B Minor, Vivaldi's Gloria, Durufle's Requiem, Verdi's La Traviata, Mozart's Requiem, Handel's Messiah, Stravinsky's Les Noces, Bach's Magnificat, Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, Mozart's The Magic Flute and Puccini's Madame Butterfly, and many more.
Shim has been a featured soloist with Pacific Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Long Beach Symphony, Pasadena Symphony, Musica Angelica, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal, Pacific Chorale, John Alexander Singers, Chorus America Conducting Academy, Berkshire Choral International, Long Beach Camerata Singers, Dallas Korean Master Chorale, Angeles Chorale, Los Angeles Chamber Choir, Southern California Korean Christian Choir, Hour of Power Choir, CSU Fullerton University Singers and Azusa Pacific University.

She has also performed at Matthias Church in Budapest, Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) in Vienna, St Sulpice, St Etienne du Mont, St Louis en l'Tle, and La Madeleine in Paris. Her solo work of Durufle's Requiem with Pacific Chorale's Choral Festival 2011 led to a performance at Eglise St-Etiennedu-Mont, where Durufle had been the titular organist. Also she has performed Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass at Bath Abbey with Bath Philharmonia and Salisbury Cathedral with Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and Orchestra.
Shim is currently Alto Section Leader of Pacific Chorale and a soloist at Good Stewards Church in West Covina.
