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

ATALANTA • John Psathas
I’ve always been strongly influenced by the performers I write for. In the case of Atalanta I was affected by the knowledge that percussionist Fabian (Ziegler) and pianist Akvilė (Šileikaitė) were a couple and soon to be married. There is a sense of youthful love and warmth in the piece, and of two young spirits chasing each other at high speed.
The literal meaning of the word Atalanta (from Greek mythology) is ‘equal in weight’ – not a bad concept for the foundation of a marriage. Atalanta is also the name of a Greek heroine, a swiftfooted virgin who eschewed men and devoted herself to the huntress Artemis.
She agreed to marry only if a suitor could outrun her in a footrace, which she knew was impossible. If the suitor was unsuccessful, he would be killed. Many suitors died in the attempt until Hippomenes prayed to the goddess Aphrodite for assistance and received three irresistible golden apples. During the race Atalanta, was diverted off the path as Hoppmenes tossed an apple for her to retrieve; each time Atalanta caught up with Hippomenes, he would toss another apple, ultimately winning the race and Atalanta herself.
The backing track features a recording of Taonga Puoro performed by the recent Richard Nunns (if you listen closely, you can hear his voice sung through the body of a Putorino).
- John Psathas
RHYTHMIC CAPRICE •
Leigh Howard Stevens
In the 1980s, Stevens began writing what he called a “demonstration piece” to show composers possible techniques and sound effects. “I wanted a virtuosic, bring-the-house-down kind of piece, so I performed for every composer who would listen,” he says. “I never got that piece, so I ended up writing it myself.” Leigh’s “Rhythmic Caprice” was premiered in
1989 and continues to be one of his most popular encores.
-Leigh Howard Stevens
HER ALCHEMY (from Koolish Zein (solo version)) • John Psathas
Koolish Zein is an orchestra-less concerto written for Michael Burritt. In place of the symphony orchestra is a percussion quartet and a track of richly layered audio. The soloist is the storyteller from start to finish, navigating an ever-changing terrain of dynamic textures and grooves. The three parts of Koolish Zein each look to evoke resonances of an imagined future. “Her Alchemy” emerges from women’s voices transformed digitally within the software Alchemy. “London Busking 2149” imagines what it might be like busking at Trafalgar Square some 125 years from now, evoked with the sound of flying vehicles coming and going, the loose quality of the music, and a duet with a passing robotic improvisor.
The up-tempo “Trimetrical Hub” (an anagram of Michael Burritt) begins in a Macedonian dance rhythm of 17/8 (4+6+7) and eventually transforms into a high-spirited groove inspired by a 6/8 Moroccan wedding dance.
ERAVIE • Alexej Gerassimez
When listening to the beautiful choral by Nikolai Kedrov, Sr. “Otche Nash” (The Lord’s Prayer), I instantly started to develop the idea to compose a piece influenced by this choral. I started to play the beginning on a marimba and tried to let the instrument “sing.” The first six bars are based on the harmonies by Kedrov.
The excerpt from J.W. Goethe’s Egmont “Now shouting in triumph, Now sunk in despair” crossed my mind while I wrote the music. The title Eravie that is made up from French literature, represents the felling of ups and downs in life. Eravie is dedicated to Julie.

KYOTO • John Psathas
Kyoto, premiered by the Ju Percussion Group in Taiwan City on May 20, 2011, was commissioned by the group for the Taipei International Percussion Convention. Departing from my earlier intense and physically demanding percussion compositions, such as Drum Dances and “Etude” from One Study One Summary, Kyoto shares stylistic similarities with his marimba concerto Djinn. The piece maintains a constant rhythmic semiquaver pulse that drives the momentum, transitioning through varying time signatures and punctuated by moments of silence that give rise to shifts in harmonic content. Two contrasting ideas, rhythmically driven melodic lines and vibraphone arpeggios, alternate before converging in a climactic moment. The title of the work is inspired by a 1976 improvisation by pianist Keith Jarrett recorded in Kyoto, which served as a transformative catalyst for my journey as a composer.

REALBADNOW • John Psathas
A solo percussion and digital audio work commissioned by commissioned by: Fabian Ziegler, Switzerland - Alex Georgiev, Austria - Adelaide Férrière, France - Omar Carmenates, USAZhengdao Lu, China - Sam Um, USA Pei Ching Wu, Taiwan - James Larter, UK - Vassilena Serafimova, Bulgaria - Gaku Ueno, Japan - Edoardo Giachino, Italy. If you’re interested in this piece I thought it might be useful to know some more about the thinking and feeling behind the composing.
I was inspired by the book “Disposable Futures: The Seduction of Violence in the Age of Spectacle” by Brad Evans and Henry Giroux. This book is where the movement titles come from . . .
Part 1
I. Individualize the Social
The spaces in the world where we
used to gather socially (and be physically present together) have been drastically reduced, some would say deliberately, so that there are fewer and fewer opportunities for us to come together as groups and communities. Of course, this weakens us. What used to be social space is now individual space. Even when we connect digitally, we do so when we are (usually) physically alone and this is not the same thing. This movement is designed to give the feeling of floating freely and alone, in a universe of one.
Part 2
II. Normalize Catastrophic Imagination
III. Encourage Citizens to Participate in Their Own Oppression
IV. Create Zones of Terminal Exclusion
You can see in the score where each of these sub-sections begin. This movement is a reflection on the idea that we are encouraged to think catastrophically, and to accept that we can do nothing about the way things are and where we are heading. But that is not enough, we are also encouraged now to participate in our own oppression, contributing to, and admiring, the success and glory of those who are accumulating the majority of resources and wealth. For the unluckiest in the world this has led to ‘zones of terminal exclusion,’ where the hopelessness is made permanent and sections of societies are considered increasingly ‘disposable,’ with no escape from this status.
Part 3
V. Prepare for Defiant Acts of Radical Imagination
Of course, this does not have to be the way, and it does not have to be permanent.
But for change to occur in the 21st century, a much stronger kind of defiance is needed. All the ‘isms’ (communism, capitalism, fascism, neo-liberalism, etc.) have failed.
Protest and resistance need to be inspired by radical imagination, not by the old methods. The world needs a new idea. Positively charged, collective energy is represented here with music that is confident, celebratory, and pumping with determination.
Part 4
VI. Teach appreciation of the Aesthetics of Violence
VII. Prevent Solidarity at All Costs
VIII. Instigate and Perpetuate a War of All-On-All
We live in an era in which violence has become the main spectacle in life, whether it is filmed entertainment, news clips, or social media. The line between real and fictional violence (and real and fictional suffering) has been almost completely erased. We are well past being desensitised; violence as a spectacle now has its own aesthetic criteria. And it is greatly enjoyed as entertainment by billions of people every day. The big tomtom sections in this movement represent that violence-as-entertainment.
Along with this is a very clear message that ‘each of us is in this alone’. That each person must learn to be selfreliant and look after themselves. This prevents the development of solidarity and community strength. By becoming hyper-individualised we not only focus almost entirely on what is good for each of us as an individual, but we also start to enter into an individualised competition for resources and rewards. This is the establishment and perpetuating of a war of all-on-all.
Part5
IX. Epilogue: RealBadNow
Here is the final expression. A sadness about things having arrived at the ‘real bad’ place.
I am old now. When I was younger, I was certain things would get better and better.
But that certainty is gone. Now I feel the world has been split into billions of individuals, lost in their own uncertainties, without the knowledge, or will, to build communities, and act in groups for positive change. Yes, depressing. I could have changed the order of the movements so that the 3rd movement was last. That way RealBadNow would finish with a positive, hopeful energy. But that would feel dishonest. I am glad the 3rd movement is part of the piece –because there is still hope in there. But only just. This last movement, with its exquisite sadness and beauty, is almost like a shift in consciousness, especially the last part. A leaving of terrestrial life, drifting into the cosmos, or the afterlife.
I hope you find value in learning and sharing this music.
- John Psathas
METRO • Russell Wharton
Metro is an homage to one of humanity’s greatest achievements; our bustling metropolitan centers. In his own words, Wharton describes our major cities as “both awe-inspiring and deeply frightening,’’ which also perfectly captures the variety of emotions contained within this multimedia piece for solo marimba. At one moment, the music is bright and reverential, at another moment, it’s dark, mysterious, and filled with introspection.
From a performance standpoint, the piece requires a broad range of advanced techniques that will highlight the virtuosity of today’s marimba artist. The solo also features a required audio accompanying track and an optional accompanying video, with stunning shots of some of the world’s most populous and advanced
