A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

What an incredible year 2023 has been for the College of Music. As I look through the articles and news items from this past year, I am filled with a strong sense of pride at the accomplishments of our faculty, students, and alumni. It continues to be an honor and a privilege to serve as Dean of this extraordinary college. I am grateful for the support that I feel from you and for the meaningful relationships that we have formed. Those relationships extend out into our community as I get to travel the nation and meet with our alumni and patrons who cherish their time at FSU and who recognize the contributions that our college makes to our community both locally and abroad.

Two years ago, we developed a Strategic Vision for the college. We identified our Core Values and created five Strategic Focus Areas where we will spend time and resources in developing over the next five years. Our Core Values—Excellence, Community, and a StudentCentered Experience—have long been values of the College of Music, and can be seen throughout our rich

100+ year history. Our five Strategic Focus Areas are also hallmarks of our past—we take care of our people, provide a rich learning environment, make a difference in our community, and continue to be a leader in the field of music. From my perspective, our Strategic Vision is not a collection of new ideas, but rather a rearticulation of who we always have been and who we will continue to be as a college in the future.

In that spirit, I hope that seeing the highlights below over the past two years from each of our focus areas is both inspiring and motivating.

RESIDENCY

By Emma Robbins

After a successful first year as part of his three-year artist residency at the College of Music, alumnus Ryan Speedo Green (M.M. ’10) returns to campus in November to work with students for another round of coachings, an opera workshop, and masterclasses, topped by a free, must-see public performance in Opperman Music Hall on Tuesday, November 7 at 7:30pm.

“We are thrilled that Speedo is returning to the College for a second year of residency,” says Dr. Marcía Porter, professor of voice in the College of Music. “The students are excited about working with him in masterclasses and performing with him on the final concert. It has been exciting to watch Speedo’s career blossom.”

“His insight changed the way I characterize my arias,” acknowledges Cole Bellamy, a second year graduate voice student. Bellamy participated in Green’s masterclasses last year and is excited for the coachings that Green will offer in November.

Green, a two-time GRAMMY® award-winning bass-baritone, graduated from the College of Music with the Master of Music degree in 2010 and has built an incredible operatic career over the last 13 years. Sharing his voice and artistry with the world, Green has received some of the opera world’s highest awards and recognitions, being named National Grand Finals winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, a Gerda Lissner Foundation First Prize winner, a George London Foundation Award winner, and an Annenberg grant recipient, among other honors and awards. He has performed on the opera world’s most acclaimed stages, thrilling audiences at The Metropolitan Opera, the Opéra national de Paris, Carnegie Hall, and the Bayerische Staatsoper.

Green continues to build his legacy as a world-renowned musician in the 2023-2024 season by assuming the roles of Heinrich der Vogler in Lohengrin, the title role in Don Giovanni, Escamillo in Carmen, Charles in Fire Shut up in my Bones, and as Wotan in Das Rheingold. Among these prestigious titles he has lined up for 2023 on his website, Green made sure to include his artist residency at Florida State University’s College of Music.

“I’m overjoyed to be returning to campus in the second year of my residency at FSU,” Green says. “Last year I was blown away by the incredible talent and ability of the students, and I can’t wait to continue building on with the good work that we started then. A big thank you to FSU for having me and allowing me to give back to the university that has given me so much!”

Unlike last year, Green’s recital will be a joint program with students from the College’s voice department. Speaking on this addition is Dr. Gregory Jones, Associate Dean for

Outreach and Engagement at the College of Music. “Discussing what we wanted to do with his second-year residency, we agreed upon a program of opera scenes so our students would be able to share the stage with him and have the opportunity to sing alongside someone of his experience, and to feel and hear what his voice and acting is like in the same environment.”

“It’s a special thing,” he continued, “it’s one thing to hear someone sing from the audience but it’s another thing to be on stage with them and interact with them like that.”

“Our students will be able to sing and act and be onstage with one of the top professionals in the business,” Dr. Jones admired.

Green’s generosity in giving back to his alma mater’s current class of future singers is enriched with his desire to help those underserved and underrepresented in opera. Having someone top in their field visit the College and spend time coaching students with new insight and perspective is one thing, but having that visiting artist also be an alumnus allows students to be face-to-face with a reflection of the performer they can become.

On the impact Green’s alumni status has on the College, Jones elaborates, “Alumni are special because they have a bond with our students and faculty that transcends the profession. They are Noles and they know what that means.”

These years as a student in the College of Music informs who you are and the musician you become. To return to the place that influenced so much of your developmental years as a role model for students is a special honor.

Green is an exemplary representative of what the College of Music can offer to the world in artistry, musicianship, and character, and the College of Music excitedly awaits Green’s second artist residency and the inspiration he will bring to both our students and the greater Tallahassee community. n

FSU NEAR YOU

By Megan Lausch

The Florida State University College of Music prides itself on the abundance of travel opportunities it continues to provide for its students. In the past year, multiple student ensembles and groups have traveled both domestically and internationally, performing concerts for a wide range of excited audiences. During the 2023–2024 school year, the College of Music will continue this trend and see many of its students perform on tours around the country.

In February 2023, the University Symphony Orchestra (USO) began its tour with a preview concert in Ruby Diamond Concert Hall, and in early March, traveled to Sarasota, FL, where they performed at Riverview High School, followed by a performance at the acclaimed Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, FL. From there the group boarded a charter flight and flew to the Dominican Republic, where they performed multiple free concerts in the cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago and gave masterclasses to students at Conservatorio Nacional de Música.

The 78 students who were able to travel as part of the USO performed an exciting program to a wide range of engaging audiences throughout the tour, with performances featuring Richard Strauss’ Don Juan, Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations, and Violin Concerto No. 2 (featuring FSU Associate Professor of Violin, Dr. Shannon Thomas) by Florence Price.

“Tours offer so much for student ensembles like the USO,” says Dr. Alexander Jiménez, Director of the University Symphony Orchestra and Director of Orchestral Activities at FSU. “In addition to the rigor of traveling and performing together in a variety of venues, tours like this one offer a fantastic cultural and educational experience and creates cultural and academic bridges between countries. The students in the USO will never forget this experience.”

In mid-May, the Capital City Brass Quintet — College of Music graduate students Madison Barton (trumpet), Angela King (trumpet), Cory Kirby (horn), Jonah Zimmerman (trombone), and Chris Bloom (tuba) — presented masterclasses and performances in and around San Juan, Costa Rica. The quintet won Florida State University’s 2023 “Noles OnStage” competition. This program and travel opportunity was sponsored by the US Embassy in Costa Rica and the Centro Cultural Costarricense Norteamericano.

“The opportunity to perform on tour in Costa Rica is one that I will never forget,” said Jonah Zimmerman, trombonist in the quintet. “Through the process of submitting our audition recording and proposal, preparation of our tour program, and the time spent in Costa Rica, we grew so much as both individuals and as a chamber ensemble.”

In November the FSU Percussion Ensemble embarked on a tour across multiple states en route to perform at the 2023 Percussive Arts Society International Conference (PASIC) in Indianapolis,

IN. The ensemble presented a home concert on Saturday, November 4, followed by performances at the gorgeous Lassiter Concert Hall in Atlanta, GA, Furman University, and the University of Kentucky.

The Percussive Arts Society International Percussion Ensemble Competition is the most prestigious in the percussion field, and the Florida State University Percussion Ensemble was recently awarded first place at this renowned competition.

“One thing is absolutely the same every year — the PASIC audience is the greatest possible group of people to play for in the world, and for us, that stage is as big as it gets. Nowhere on earth could we play for 3000+ percussion professionals, students, and enthusiasts that understand what we’re doing and appreciate how we do it more than the showcase audience,” says FSU Professor of Percussion Dr. John Parks, “The students and I have joked that we’d rather play PASIC than Carnegie Hall.”

November also saw travel performance by the University Chamber Choir. Under the direction of Associate Professor of Music and Director of Graduate Choral Studies Dr. Michael Hanawalt, the Chamber Choir performed at the National Collegiate Choral Directors (NCCO) conference in Atlanta, GA. In February 2024, Chamber Choir will take to the road again, this time to perform at the Southern Division of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) conference in Louisville, KY.

The ensemble was chosen by blind audition to perform at each convention. At NCCO, the Chamber Choir was one of eight mixed choirs to receive an invitation, and at ACDA, the ensemble was one of only four mixed choirs to be chosen.

“It’s always an incredible honor to be chosen to perform at one of these conventions,” says Dr. Hanawalt. “We will be representing the College of Music and showcasing the talents of some of the amazing students we have here at FSU.”

“The audience for these conference performances is entirely made out of choral directors who each attend the conference with hopes of continuing professional development for their own choirs,” says Steven Olson, a graduate teaching assistant with the Chamber Choir. “It is such a high honor to be considered for this opportunity, and I greatly look forward to sharing all the wonderful happenings of the FSU Choral program with the broader field!”

LOOKING AHEAD

Last academic year, Dean Todd Queen and Associate Dean Gregory Jones proposed the idea of a “Rainbow Tour,” a concept that would feature a scaled-down version of the College’s annual spring-time favorite “Rainbow Concert of World Music,” a showcase performance presented by the FSU Musicology department’s world music ensembles. As the idea came to life, College of Music Musicology faculty members Dr. Michael Bakan, Dr. Sarah Eyerly,

Capital City Brass Quintet members Madison Barton (trumpet), Cory Kirby (horn), Chris Bloom (tuba), Jonah Zimmerman (trombone), and Angela King (trumpet) traveled to San Juan, Costa Rica to present a series of performances and masterclasses.

Dr. Panayotis League, Dr. Aisha Ivey, and Dr. Adrienne Tedjamulia-Read began to plan a tour that would represent FSU’s world ensembles, ultimately creating a “touring ensemble.”

The touring ensemble will perform multiple concerts across the state of Florida in Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Naples in February 2024. The concerts will feature a diverse range of College of Music students, faculty,

staff, and students from various colleges across FSU’s campus.

As noted by Bakan, the program will follow the combining thread of baroque music, specifically taking a “global approach to early music.” The program will feature Balinese Gamalean music, Brazilian music, Irish music and steel pan compositions, among other styles of music from around the world that flourished during the Baroque era.

This tour represents a unique opportunity for the Musicology department to represent the College of Music in a new, exciting way. “The FSU Musicology faculty has always been committed to the idea of musicology in practice, as this is an integral aspect of musicology as a field,” says Bakan. “This tour is a solid reflection of what we do and the college’s long standing and abiding commitment to supporting musicology and its many dimensions.” n

Members of the FSU Percussion Ensemble prepare for the tour leading up to their performance at PASIC.

The first-ever FSU Musicology tour centers around the “Global Baroque” theme: Baroque-era music from around the world.

FSU COLLEGE OF MUSIC RENAMES ENSEMBLE ROOM AS TRIBUTE TO FORMER ORCHESTRA TEACHER & ALUMNA

By: Kenta Joseph

After a rich career as an educator and musician, a Florida State University alumna and orchestra teacher will have a permanent honor at the FSU College of Music after 50 years of teaching.

The Dorothy Flory Holroyd Ensemble Room will stand as a tribute to Dorothy Flory Holroyd (MME ‘54), whose vision and commitment to music education have had a lasting impact on her students. Flory Holroyd started her career in music education as the director of Florida High’s Orchestra and Orchestra Club in the late 1950s. A former student is making a gift of $1 million to the College of Music in her honor.

“It is amazing to know that sixty-five years after Dorothy taught at Florida High, she continues to inspire her students,” said Todd Queen, dean of the College of Music. “This heartwarming gift is a testament to the power of education and how one single teacher can positively affect so many.”

Through five decades, Flory Holroyd taught hundreds of string students, many of whom later filled principal chairs in district, regional and state orchestras. She was more than a music teacher. She taught theory, technique and life lessons sprinkled with laughter, her students say, recalling the pranks she would often play in their classroom. Flory Holroyd hoped her students would see music as a gift to bring joy, color and beauty into their lives.

She cared deeply for her students, along with her love of music itself. Flory Holroyd was first trained as a violinist. However, once introduced to the viola, it became her greatest love. In addition to teaching, Flory Holroyd was a successful performer, including her time as principal violist for the York Symphony and as a member of the Colonial String Quartet. Now retired at 92, Flory Holroyd continues to play her beloved viola with the orchestra at her church in York, Pennsylvania.

The generous gift comes from Flory Holroyd’s former violin student Jim Miller (B.A. ‘61). Miller was the inaugural president of Florida High’s Orchestra Club, which Flory Holroyd founded and directed in 1957. The club was one of many talented music groups at the high school but was noted as the “most outstanding” for public performance.

“I am truly overwhelmed with this honor,” Flory Holroyd said at the news of the gift. “I was so touched when Jim called and said he had thought of me often. I guess one never knows how much a teacher influences his or her students.”

The gift will allow the College of Music to make acoustic improvements and other renovations to its large ensemble room and improve additional rehearsal spaces in the Housewright Music Building, benefiting current and future generations of music students and instructors.

“I trust that the Ensemble Room will be a valuable resource to FSU music students,” Flory Holroyd said. “I am indeed honored by his kind and generous gift.”

Miller said, “Dorothy took me to my first opera in 1955. I’m still going and ever more grateful. Music and Botany at Florida High shaped my life.”

Renovations to the Dorothy Flory Holroyd Ensemble Room will begin in summer 2024.

Tribute for George Newall, written by friend and fellow alumni Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, B.M. ’60, M.M. ’62

George Newell, a distinguished Florida State University School of Music graduate, led a remarkable life. After serving as a pianist and percussionist in the US Army Air Corps, George came to FSU to study composition. Besides composition credentials, he brought with him a wonderful sense of humor and an ability to play jazz piano that we all enjoyed. This was before jazz was a part of the curriculum, but many of us were playing BeBop and Big Band Jazz on the side and George was influential. In later years he did arrangements and played piano in concert and recordings with his wife, jazz-singer, Lisa Maxwell.

George won First Prize in the Florida Composers’ League competition for his Orchestral Essay in 1960, the year he received a bachelor’s degree in Composition. The years that followed were filled with special contributions to the music world. In 2003 he was awarded the FSU honor for Distinguished Achievement in Creative Music Education and the Production of Award-winning Educational Programs. As a co-creator of Schoolhouse Rock he had really achieved that goal and in 2004 an Ella Scoble Opperman Scholarship at FSU was established in his name.

George Newall was a delightful friend and someone who gave so much to our music world. His presence will be long-lasting.

7/12/1950 – 5/6/2023

Bruce Holzman, professor and director of the guitar program passed away from injuries suffered in a car accident. Bruce was born and raised in New York and graduated from New York University before becoming a faculty member at FSU in 1972.

Bruce would remain to teach and build the guitar program at FSU for 50 years. His students won many prestigious prizes in competitions worldwide and many of his students hold teaching positions at prominent universities, colleges, and high schools. Bruce served on the Artists’ Faculties of The Iserlohn International Guitar Symposium, Germany, Stetson International Guitar Workshop, the Columbus States Guitar Symposium, Domaine Forget Academie of Music and Dance, Quebec, Canada, National Guitar Summer Workshop, New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes, Boston Guitarfest, and Toronto Guitarfest. He was an adjudicator for many competitions. Bruce was awarded a special Lifetime Achievement award at the Fifth New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes held in his honor, “El Maestro/Tradition of the Masters.”
