Every work of art begins with something deeply felt: an idea worth pursuing, a question that begs exploration, a story or sound or image that asks to be brought into the world. But making the work is only part of the experience. Art also asks to be seen, heard, and shared. From the moment the semester begins, our students pour every bit of themselves into their work. Then after hours of practice, days of preparation, and months of refinement, the audience becomes a privileged participant in a powerful, shared moment. It can happen in a gallery or on a stage. Sometimes it strikes when a choir’s transcendent harmonies send shivers up your spine. Or when you lose yourself inside the details of a photograph or are transported to another time and place inside a darkened theatre. These are the moments when we stop watching and start seeing. If you have experienced moments like these, support the artists that make them possible by donating to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Your generosity will help to ensure students have access to meaningful on- and off-campus opportunities including artist’s residencies, masterclasses, conferences, and intensives that empower their creativity. Shape the future of the arts today. Consider a gift of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Thank you for joining us for the College of the Arts’ Fall Events Season. There is so much to explore. From new artistic perspectives and compelling stories to bold visions and timeless favorites. Let’s discover where this season takes us, together! Be Well, Arnold Holland, Ed.D Douglas G. Stewart, Dean of the College of the Arts

to heaven. Their heads droop, and all their communication is a rare, horrid croak.
This composition is a tribute to the two years I spent living in Miami Beach, Florida, where so many cultures and characters collided. Out of the chaos, an energetic, infectious, and driving ostinato expresses the constant energy present in the South Florida club scene.
The Walking Woman (from The Land of Little Rain Suite (2023/2026)) PAMELA MADSEN
Water Trails of Ceriso / 57 Buzzards (The Inner Sky) (from The Land of Little Rain Suite (2023/2026)) PAMELA MADSEN From Pamela Madsen’s Opera America and National Endowment for the Arts award-winning new opera Why Women Went West (2022–2023), The Land of Little Rain Suite tells the story of Mary Austin—pioneer, mystic, and writer of the American West—and her journey across the United States to California in the early twentieth century. In Water Trails of Ceriso, the sounds of water and the duo’s fluid performance are juxtaposed with the desert’s dry, rigid stillness—its inactivity, silence, and scarcity of sound. The performers play from a spatialized score representing 57 buzzards that “prey” upon the seated duo. These “buzzard performers” may move freely throughout the performance space, following the pitches and trajectories of the graphic score. They may also interact with the seated duo, attempting to derail the duo’s lyrical depiction of water. For this performance, I have added a third layer to the landscape: “The Inner Sky,” a choral refrain inspired by a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, evoking an atmosphere of meditative contemplation and deep listening in the desert. The Scavengers: (to be read for 57 Buzzards) Fifty-seven buzzards, one on each of fifty-seven fence posts at the rancho El Tejon, on a mirage-breeding September morning, sat solemnly while the white tilted travelers’ vans lumbered down the Canada de los Uvas. After three hours they had only clapped their wings, or exchanged posts. The season’s end in the vast dim valley of the San Joaquin is palpitatingly hot, and the air breathes like cotton wool. Through it all the buzzards sit on the fences and low hummocks, with wings spread fanwise for air. There is no end to them, and they smell
The Walking Woman is inspired by Mary Austin’s autobiography Earth Horizon (1932) and her collection of short stories Lost Borders (1909). It recounts Austin’s encounter with “the walking woman,” a fiercely independent and resilient figure who became a legend among the region’s pioneers and sheepherders in the Eastern Sierra.
Who Are the Brain Police? (1966) FRANK ZAPPA ARR. BY CSUF NEW MUSIC ENSEMBLE Zappa wrote about the song on the Freak Out! liner notes: “At five o’clock in the morning someone kept singing this in my mind and made me write it down. I will admit to being frightened when I finally played it out loud and sang the words.” In a 1988 interview, Zappa added: “A lot of people police their own brains. They’re like citizen soldiers, so to speak. I’ve seen people who will willingly arrest, try and punish their own brains. Now that’s really sad. That’s vigilante brain policism. It’s not even official, it’s like self-imposed...It’s hard to pin it down to one central agency when you realize that so many people are willing to do it to themselves. I mean, the people who want to become amateur brain police, their numbers grow every day—people who say to themselves, ‘I couldn’t possibly consider that’, and then spank themselves for even getting that far. So, you don’t even need to blame it on a central brain police agency. You’ve got plenty of people who willingly subject themselves to this self-mutilation.” What will you do if we let you go home, And the plastic’s all melted and so is the chrome? Who are the brain police? What will you do when the label comes off, And the plastic’s all melted and the chrome is too soft? Who are the brain police? What will you do if the people you knew
PROGRAM NOTES Were the plastic that melted and the chromium, too? Who are the brain police?
Line Drive (California) KENTON YOUNGSTROM Line Drive pays homage to the uniquely influential music genre that grew out of the Southern California surf culture of the 1960s. In the piece are recognizable elements of that genre infused with Quarteto Nuevo’s penchant for “odd” meters, in this case, 7/8.
Hector, Desmond and Titus DAMON ZICK Inspired by author and illustrator Edward Gorey’s “The Gashlycrumb Tinies,” this work sounds like it is from the other side of the world. Composed after a trip around the Mediterranean, influences from Egypt and the Middle East can clearly be heard.
Guayaquil BILL CUNLIFFE Bill Cunliffe composed this work for Quarteto Nuevo in 2024. This piece captures the waterfront energy, historic charm, and tropical vibrancy of Ecuador’s largest city.
Jazz Road Suite: Western States Quarteto Nuevo was awarded a Jazz Road Creative Residency grant from South Arts to compose a Jazz Road Suite—exploring the connection of jazz to geographical and cultural locations. The members of Quarteto Nuevo composed new works for each state they visited during the 2023-24 touring season. The result is a nine-movement work entitled Jazz Road Suite: Western States, that includes new compositions for Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. Each composer found connections to their chosen states through geography, culture, and personal experience. The complete suite was recorded live in concert in March 2024 at ASU Kerr Cultural Center in Scottsdale, AZ. Videos of the live concert released on YouTube starting August 2024. The full concert recording was released February 2025.
Aquilegia (Colorado) KENTON YOUNGSTROM I found inspiration in the state flower, the Colorado Blue Columbine, of which “Aquilegia” is the Latin name. The flower›s two layers of petals, white and lavender, suggested two “colors” of instrumental sound. In this case, cello and soprano saxophone engage in a musical canon whereby the melodies overlay each other.
Big Sky (Montana) FELIPE FRAGA Big Sky was written to explore the connection in geography and culture between the wide-open spaces of Montana and my home state of Paraná in Brazil. The composition uses a Paraguayan style of music called ânia” which is often heard in Brazilian country and folk music of that region.
The Road (Nevada) JACOB SZEKELY Nevada has figured prominently in many of my most cherished memories, and some of the best days of my life. The Road refers to the drive on Interstate 15. Driving through the vast expanse of emptiness acted as the perfect canvas for my imagination that I filled with hopes and dreams for the future and, most recently, the inspiration for this piece of music.
Raven’s Dance (Alaska) DAMON ZICK Raven’s Dance honors the common raven, which is a year-round resident across the entire state of Alaska. The raven is among the smartest of all birds, a magnificent acrobatic flyer, and the largest species of songbird. Many Native Alaskan cultures view the raven as the creator of the world and the bringer of daylight, as well as an incurable trickster.
QUARTETO NUEVO Quarteto Nuevo merges western classical, eastern European folk, Latin and jazz with an organic feel that packs a wallop! Their diverse programs can be tailored to fit anywhere, from an intimate chamber music venue to a large outdoor festival. The ensemble’s razor-sharp precision is enhanced by jazzy interludes, lightly rumbling percussion motifs and mesmerizing rhythms. They effectively meld the music of ancient worlds and faraway places with a contemporary groove that enchants audiences of all ages! Winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions, Quarteto Nuevo’s master musicians create emotionally-charged soundscapes with instruments and sensibilities that represent very different world cultures. Their unique instrumentation – soprano saxophone/alto flute (Damon Zick), cello (Jacob Szekely), guitar (Kenton Youngstrom) and hand percussion (Felipe Fraga) – richly colors their wide-ranging repertoire, from Heitor Villa-Lobos’ “Bachianas Brasileiras” and Chick Corea’s “Children’s Song No. 6” to Traditional Macedonian “Gadjarsko” and original works “Hector, Desmond and Titus,” “Rain Song,” and “Dizer O Que.” Quarteto Nuevo was the recipient of a Jazz Road Creative Residency grant from South Arts that supported the creation of their new Jazz Road Suite. The resulting ten-movement suite explores the connection of jazz to geographical and cultural locations. The ensemble premiered the new works in each state they toured, and the complete suite was recorded live in concert at ASU’s Kerr Center in Scottsdale, AZ. This season Quarteto Nuevo will be in residence at CSU Fullerton as part of their New Music Festival working with student composers and premiering new works. www.quartetonuevo.com
