A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPALS Dear Friends and Families,
It is our privilege to welcome you to the 2024-2025 performance season at California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV)! We are delighted to have you join us for our eighth season of showstopping performances, concerts, events, and more, all showcasing the tireless work and dedication of our exceptionally talented students and faculty. The inspiring devotion and passion of our CSArts-SGV community has not gone unnoticed. Our school is currently ranked the #1 Best Charter High School in California, the #3 Best Public High School in Los Angeles County, and the #4 Best High School for the Arts in America by Niche. CSArts-SGV also holds the title of Best Charter School in the San Gabriel Valley by Pasadena Star-News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, and Whittier Daily News. We could not be more proud of the many successes of our students, teachers, and staff, and we are thrilled to see what else we can all accomplish together as a CSArts-SGV family this school year. It is our first year together as joint principals, and there are so many other firsts on this season’s horizon that we are excited to be a part of, including welcoming our very first group of sixth grade students to CSArts-SGV!
Sincerely,
Stephen Cook, D.M.A. Principal of Arts
Nicole Read Principal of Academics
Of course, all of these incredible accomplishments could not be achieved without the support of our community. We would like to express our gratitude to our 2024-2025 Season Sponsors, Edison International and Max H. Gluck Foundation, as well as to our Board of Trustees, Foundation Board of Directors, President’s Circle, Encore, and Family Action Network members. Their continued support, leadership, and vision help to shape the lives of our students each and every day. Additionally, we would like to express our appreciation to the Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), the DUSD Board of Education, and the City of Duarte Council Members, whose continued partnership is vital to the mission of CSArts-SGV. Finally, we must honor our parents, alumni, administrators, faculty and staff, members of the local community, and most importantly, our student artists. Our students are the inspiration and driving force behind everything that we do. We are thrilled to have you join us in celebrating another impressive performance season at CSArts-SGV. Sit back and enjoy as our students Shine Brightly!

PROGRAM NOTE
Music has been a part of the human experience for just about as long as humans have been around. While we don’t know the exact origins of music, we do know that it has always served as a means of making sense of life’s most profound mysteries. In tonight’s concert, we journey through the themes of transition, remembrance, and acceptance that unfold through the works of composers who invite us to reflect on the ephemeral nature of life and the beauty of its passing seasons. We open with Franz Schubert’s Death and the Maiden, a gripping string quartet that sets the tone for the evening’s reflections on mortality. Schubert himself only lived to the age of 31 - a life cut short. The program then leads us through Bizet’s Carmen Suite, capturing passion and fate in its dynamic melodies. From the timeless beauty of Plaisir d’amour to the soaring jazz harmonies of Weather to Fly, each piece contributes to our exploration of change and the emotions that accompany it. PRESENTED BY THE PRESENTED INTEGRATED BY THE ARTS SCHOOL CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS — SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
PROGRAM NOTE continued
The CSArts Philharmonic opens our second act with Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre, conjuring the eerie image of Death leading a midnight waltz. This piece is followed by Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte - a meditative elegy with lilting and sorrowful phrases. These works set the stage for the culmination of our concert: Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, a work that is unique in the requiem tradition. Fauré chose not to echo the fire and brimstone/ fear based approach of many settings. His vision of the afterlife is one of peace, of light, and of eternal rest. The choir sings many times in the work “et lux perpetua, luceat eis” or “and may eternal light shine on them.” His Requiem does not dwell in grief, but rather embraces transition with a sense of quiet assurance and celestial beauty. It is a joy to bring together the ensembles of California School of the Arts, Church of the Good Shepherd, and Citrus College. This collaboration across institutions, generations and musical disciplines is exactly what music

is meant to do: bring us together to celebrate our common humanity.

As you listen tonight, may you find comfort in these melodies and texts: reminders that even as life shifts and changes, music remains a steadfast guide, leading us gently toward understanding, toward peace, and toward the transcendent beauty of the human spirit.
