Welcome Welcome to the California All-State Music Education Conference (CASMEC)! The California Alliance for Jazz (CAJ), California Band Directors Association (CBDA), California Choral Directors Association (CCDA), California Music Educators Association (CMEA), and the California Orchestra Directors Association (CODA) want to first express our thanks to all who attend the conference. The leadership teams from each organization have worked diligently to create a wonderful music education opportunity for attendees and students alike. These individuals, working in collaboration with one another, have helped prepare a meaningful experience for all involved and they certainly deserve our gratitude. Each CASMEC partner organization recognizes that music is an essential part of the human experience. We hope this conference will encourage and remind us of this fact. The arts transform lives and your work as music educators plays an integral role in this process. While these may be challenging times, educators are persistent in seeking ways to create, connect, and support students and communities. The skills we are learning during this unique time will only serve to enhance future experiences and supplement educational practices used to reach students and change lives for the better through music. We hope you will find your own moments of inspiration and renewal at this conference. Thank you for your service to this wonderful profession.

G is For Gratitude! G is For Gratitude was commissioned for the 2022 California All-State Junior High School Jazz Band by the California Alliance for Jazz in honor of our dear friend and colleague Michael Gangemi. Many friends and peers refer to Mike as “G” (myself included) — hence the “G” in the title of the composition. Mike’s enthusiasm, big heart and playfulness are just a few of his personality traits that I set out to capture in my composition, a happy yet raucous shuffle, that I feel he would greatly enjoy. Over our years of friendship and admiration for one another, Mike commissioned me to write a piece for the Santiago High School Jazz Band 1 performance at the 2020 CASMEC Conference. The piece, Blues for JM, was given this title at Mike’s suggestion (there’s a long about that title and this is probably not the time to share THAT story). In this new piece honoring G, the main theme of Blues of JM is morphed a bit and given a new setting. I guess it could be said that melodically G is For Gratitude is a further derivation of Blues For JM. I think Mike would love this concept and it seems incredibly fitting that this melody continues to live on just as G’s work as an educational leader will continue to touch and inspire generations of music students and educators to come. Lastly, I included the word gratitude in the title because G was always thankful to his students, and peers and I am truly grateful that he was a part of my life. I am better person for having Mike in my life as a friend and colleague and he will always live on in my heart. Love you madly, G!

High School TTBB Honor Choir Dr. Jace Saplan

Dr. Jace Kaholokula Saplan serves as the Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. Dr. Saplan received his Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, his Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University-Portland, his Master of Music in Choral Conducting from the University of Oregon, and his Doctor of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting with cognates in Music Education and Ethnomusicology from the University of Miami Frost School of Music. Known for his work in celebrating the intersection between Hawaiian music and choral performance, he is the artistic director of Nā Wai Chamber Choir, a professional vocal ensemble based in Hawaiʻi dedicated to the preservation and propagation of Hawaiian choral music. Under his direction, Nā Wai has commissioned and mentored emerging Native Hawaiian composers and conductors, toured throughout rural Hawaiian communities, and led workshops on the performance of Hawaiian choral music at schools and universities throughout the country. Prior to his appointment to the University of Hawai’i and Hamilton College, Dr. Saplan served as the chorus master for the Frost Opera Program at the University of Miami where he prepared a number of contemporary works such as Golijov’s Ainadamar, Kuster’s Old Presque Isle (done in collaboration with the John Duffy Composer’s Institute and the Virginia Arts Festival), and a premiere work by Grammy-nominated composer Shawn Crouch. He also served as an instructor of choral music at Florida International University where he directed the FIU Master Chorale and taught courses in undergraduate and graduate choral conducting. His work in preparing choruses and as a festival clinician are vast, resulting in performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Hall, The Oregon Bach Festival, Old South Church (Boston), Church of the Holy Trinity (Philadelphia), La Madeleine (France), and the Harrogate Music Festival (UK). Dr. Saplan’s research focuses on the performance practice of Queen Lili’uokalani’s choral compositions; multicultural perspectives in the choral rehearsal; intersections of choral pedagogy, gender, and sexuality in communities of color; and Native Hawaiian agency in music. His scholarship on these topics have also led him to lead clinics at the state, regional, and national level for the American Choral Directors Association, National Association for Music Educators, National Collegiate Choral Organization, and the LGBTQ Studies in Music Education Conference. He is a frequent clinician and adjudicator for state, regional, and national conferences and festivals.

High School Wind Symphony Dr. Cynthia Johnston Turner

Cynthia Johnston Turner is in demand as a conductor, conducting and ensemble clinician, and speaker in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Canada. Before her appointment at the Hodgson School at the University of Georgia, Cynthia was Director of Wind Ensembles at Cornell University. Earlier in her career Cynthia was a high school music educator, taught middle school beginning instrumental music in Toronto and choral music in Switzerland. She currently serves as a faculty member with the summer Performing Arts Institute at Pennsylvania’s Wyoming Seminary and as a conductor with the Syracuse Society of New Music, the Austrian Festival Orchestra, and the Paris Lodron Ensemble in Salzburg. A Canadian, Cynthia completed her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education degrees at Queens University and her Master of Music in music education and conducting at the University of Victoria. Touring with her ensembles inspired her master’s thesis on the musical and personal transformations that occur on tours, and her D.M.A. thesis at the Eastman School of Music centered on the music of William Kraft, one of this generation’s leading composers. At Eastman Cynthia was the recipient of the prestigious teaching award in conducting. She received the National Leadership in Education Award (Canada), the Excellence in Education Award (Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation), and the Marion Drysdale Leadership Award (also from OSSTF). She is also the recipient of the Donald A. Reick Memorial Award for research with wearable technologies and music pedagogy, and the American Prize for innovative programming with wind bands. Cynthia has commissioned numerous new works for wind band and orchestra, and she continues to actively promote commissions by today’s leading and emerging composers around the world. Under her direction, the Cornell Wind Ensemble was invited to perform at the College Band Directors National Association’s Eastern Division Conference in 2007 and 2012. In 2008, the Merrill Presidential Scholars at Cornell recognized Cynthia as an outstanding educator, and in 2009, she was awarded the Kaplan Family Distinguished Faculty Fellowship. Her performances have been praised by such composers as Steven Stucky, William Kraft, Steven Bryant, Marc Mellits, Eddie Mora, Dana Wilson, Roberto Sierra, and Karel Husa.
