John Farrer conducted his final performance with the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra on May 10.
CSUB to honor John Farrer with honorary Doctor of Fine Arts BY IRMA CERVANTES Community contributor
C
SU Bakersfield announced that it will award its highest honor to John Farrer, Music Director of the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. Farrer will receive only the second Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts to be awarded by the university, the first was given to Merle Haggard in 2013. The honorary degree will be conferred during the spring commencement ceremony on at 7 a.m. on June 13 at the CSUB Amphitheatre. “John Ferrar’s contribution to the arts and education in Kern County is undeniable and far reaching. CSUB strives to produce excellence, and Mr. Farrer represents the very excellence we work to develop in all our students,� stated CSUB President Horace Mitchell. “His outstanding body of work, coupled with the mark he has made on our community, makes him a clear choice for this esteemed honor.� Farrer arrived in Bakersfield in 1970 when he took a guest conductor position with the Bakersfield Symphony. Just five short years later he became the music director and has served the community in that position for 38 years. In that time, Maestro Farrer has conducted over 400 works on the orchestra's subscription programs and has collaborated with some of the world's finest soloists. Today, he is a world-renowned guest conductor and has conducted special programs for royalty, including the
Duchess of Cornwall. One purpose of the honorary doctorate is “to recognize excellence and extraordinary achievement in significant areas of human endeavor, within which are embodied the objectives and ideals of the California State University.� Ferrar's accolades are many. To begin, they include 10 seasons as music director with the Santa Maria Philharmonic. He was associated with the San Francisco Symphony as cover conductor for the orchestra's subscription concerts. Farrer has been a frequent speaker in the San Francisco Symphony's series of Inside Music talks, and he has led the orchestra in Concerts for Kids, and in a concert in the Stern Grove, which attracted 20,000 listeners. He is the founder and director of the California Conducting Institute and the London Conducting Workshop at the Royal College of Music. These two programs attract conductors from all over the world. He also is a member of the Los Angeles Young Musicians Foundation Music Advisory Board. “Recognition of Mr. Ferrar's artistic achievements is especially appropriate for the CSU system in light of his championing education and fine arts,� commented Mitchell. Awarding Farrer the honorary doctorate has the full support of the university administration and is made with the support of CSUB faculty, represented by the Academic Senate Executive Committee.

Project Linus is collecting clothing for victims of sexual assault BY MICHELE WILLIS Community contributor
I
recently was invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new SART facility. SART is the Sexual Assault Response Team here in Kern County. Victims of sexual assault go to this center. I remember when nurse Sarah first called me when she worked at Memorial Hospital and asked me if Project Linus could provide blankets for the SART Team there. I felt so stupid after telling her that Project Linus blankets are only for the children but I would see what I could do about getting blankets for the adults. She then, very nicely, told me that she was asking for blankets for the children and not the adults. In two weeks time, the new facility saw eight children and 16 adults. Over the course of the summer we
are collecting gently used clothes that are similar to scrubs. (Drawstring waist — a one size fits all type of pattern.) Many of these people leave with a blanket wrapped around them because their clothes are used for evidence. It is hard enough for these women and children to decided to get help so hopefully this will make it a little better. If you would like to donate blankets or clothing for the SART facility, please contact Michele Willis at mwillis@projectlinusbakersfield.com. Michele Willis is the chapter coordinator for the Bakersfield, Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties. Project Linus has been in existence nationwide for about 16 years with over 309 chapters. Our chapter in Kern County started as of December 2005. Project Linus is a volunteer organization.
