Welcome from the Chair With the official arrival of spring and the start of spring quarter at UCSB, I see a noticeable new energy, excitement, and optimism from all of our faculty, staff, and students in the Department of Music. More and more people are being vaccinated from Covid-19 throughout the nation and it finally feels like all of our hard work and persistence during this difficult year is paying off as we look to a return to our beautiful campus for Fall Quarter 2021. I continue to be amazed by the incredible work that is being presented by our students and am humbled and grateful to be the Chair of our department as we look to the future with hope and determination.
