FEATURE STORY

FOUNDATIONS AND
FUTURES

ALUMNI AND FRIENDS of the College of Music

know that it is among the top tier of university-
based music programs in the United States. It
provides an excellent musical education to over 1,000
undergraduate and graduate students each year
and boasts hundreds of high-quality performances
by its faculty, students, and special guests. Faculty
members of the College perform, teach, and carry out
research across the country and around the world,
building upon the international reputation that they
and their predecessors have earned individually and
collectively. Some of their many accomplishments are
featured throughout this magazine.

Foundations...
Current students and alumni of the College
of Music are also establishing outstanding
careers on strong musical and professional
foundations built under the tutelage of our
exceptional faculty. There are innumerable
stories and anecdotes of success, but the
College also has solid data demonstrating
that our alumni find diverse ways to support
themselves, develop satisfying careers, and
contribute to their communities.
During the fall of 2015, the College engaged
in an extensive survey of alumni placements
for those who graduated in Fall 2008
through Summer 2015. Some data came from
former students who have shared updates
about their careers. The rest was collected
through study of the online presence of our
graduates on school, college, business, and
other institutional websites, as well as on
social media.
In the past seven years, the College of
Music has awarded 1,054 undergraduate
degrees. Over 750 of the alumni who
earned those undergraduate degrees
have gone on to graduate school or are
gainfully employed; more than 60% of
those alumni are employed in one or more
musical fields. Placements in fields such
as music education and music therapy are
very strong, accounting for about 30% of
the total number who have graduated in
the past seven years. Other undergraduate
alumni have been hired to fill various
administrative roles in arts organizations,
to teach or provide support services at
colleges or universities, or to use their skills
on Broadway, radio, television, and film
productions, or as audio engineers.
During those same seven years, the College
of Music awarded 1036 masters and doctoral
degrees. Placement data demonstrates
that awardees of the College’s Doctor
of Music degree are able to successfully
compete for full- and part-time positions
in their specialized fields of study. Many
pursue freelance performing and teaching
opportunities whether solely or in addition

to institutional employment. Significantly,
about half of the College of Music’s DM
degree recipients from the past five years are
employed in full- or part-time teaching roles
at colleges and universities. The number of
alumni from the College’s PhD programs
who graduated in the past five years and are
teaching music at colleges and universities is
even higher, at just over 80%.
These numbers are fantastic! Both doctoral
degree placement records outpace national
trends for employment of doctoral-level
graduate students in higher education. One
study of job placement rates among recent
PhD recipients that was published in The
Atlantic in 2013 indicated that only about
40% of PhD graduates in the sciences,
humanities, and education were finding
faculty positions – down from 50% in
2001. In a report published on its website,
the American Historical Association
estimates that in the highly competitive
field of North American history, there are
twice as many new PhD graduates for each
assistant professor position posted in a
single year. Given these tight markets, the
College’s strong showing in terms of doctoral
placements demonstrates how highly
regarded its programs and graduates are in
ALUMNI MAGAZINE FALL 2016 3
Florida, the Southeast, and throughout the
country.
And Futures...
The College of Music’s programs are strong;
the foundations that we provide to our
students are solid. But faculty members are
not resting on past successes. They continue
to light the way with their many professional
accomplishments, which draw students to
our campus from all over the world. Faculty
also continue to evaluate, revise, and renew
curricula to address the changing needs of
our students and the communities that will
hire them.
An important area of development is
musical entrepreneurship and innovation.
During the past several years, Florida State
University has placed a growing emphasis on
training in entrepreneurship and innovation,
and the College of Music is doing its part to
create a more “entrepreneurial university.”
The Entrepreneurship Residency in Music is
one of the ways the College is participating
in this effort and one of the latest means
by which it advances its long-standing
commitment to empower students to
become savvy professionals who are ready
to strike out in new directions in an ever-
changing arts environment. While growing
mastery as young musical professionals is
more important than ever, leading music
colleges, schools, and conservatories are
increasingly providing formal training in
career development, entrepreneurship,
innovation, self-marketing, and leadership.
The Entrepreneurship Residencies in Music,
established several years ago, bring leading
figures in arts management and advocacy,
musical entrepreneurship education, and
the business side of our profession to campus
for one-on-one meetings with students,
presentations to entrepreneurship and arts
management classes, consultations with
4 FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC

faculty, and general community lectures.
The goal is to widen students’ understanding
of career options, equip them to meet the
challenges of rapidly changing economies
and markets, and provide them with the
tools necessary to lead change in the arts and
their communities. David Cutler, Rachel
Roberts, Jessica Meyer, Angela Myles
Beeching, Sebastian Ruth, Jim
Rupp, Russell Willis Taylor, Ramon
Ricker, and Ayden Adler have held
Entrepreneurship Residencies over
the past several years.
The recent gift of $100 million
dollars from Jan Moran and the
Jim Moran Foundation to create
the new Jim Moran School of
Entrepreneurship at Florida State
University promises to transform
how the university prepares
students to be leaders and innovators. The
stand-alone School, which will be housed
downtown in a building donated to the
University by Kathryn and Brian Ballard,
will offer more courses in entrepreneurship
and innovation to more students than
is currently possible. Conversations to
determine how the Jim Moran School and
existing entrepreneurship programs and
initiatives at FSU will interface have only
just begun, but the significant size of the gift
and the opportunities and infrastructures it
will generate should strengthen our efforts in
musical entrepreneurship and innovation at
the College of Music.
Coda
While serving as Dean
and Summer Music
Camp Director (1945-
1966), Dr. Karl O.
Kuersteiner published
the summer camp
newsletter known as
“Allegro.” Each year, it
included the program
of the final gala concert,
lists of scholarship and
other award winners,
and photographs
of ensembles. The Dean also wrote a
short inspirational message each year
that proclaimed the value of aesthetic
experiences in young people’s lives and
insisted on the importance of music in a
democratic society. Kuersteiner’s final
message, published in the 1966 “Allegro,”
even anticipated the widening gap in
American higher education between STEM
disciplines and the arts and humanities, but
it also boldly and unapologetically voiced the
central importance of training in the musical
arts:
“Today we live in a scientific age. Man [sic] is
studying and doing research on man in space...
But the key today is man, himself—the inner
man... The humanities comprise the study of
human expression. One of the humanities is
music. It is my hope...that all Musicampers will
have learned many things, including a more
meaningful perspective for man’s expression in
music, and a more realistic realization of their
own place as young Americans in society today.”
The College of Music continues to transform
lives and communities through music.
This foundation has remained unchanged,
despite changing curricula, technologies,
styles of music, means of expression, and
broader social contexts. The stories of
faculty, students, and alumni in the pages
that follow show that others also believe in
the importance of music as a central form
of human expression and continue to look
to us for musical leadership in Tallahassee,
Florida, and across the United States. We
invite you to continue to partner with us in
our endeavors by your presence on campus
whenever possible, your friendship, and your
financial support. SP

Just a few examples of our student entrepreneurs…

Current DM student Ryan Reynolds and fellow members of the Akropolis Reed Quintet toured extensively and commissioned new works
from Gregory Wanamaker, John Steinmetz, David Biedenbender, and Rob Deemer for their third album, The Space Between Us, due out in
Fall 2016. In February, Akropolis launched “Akropolis WORKS,” a residency program designed to help students develop entrepreneurial
skills. The inaugural residency took place at the University of Michigan. Akropolis received the 2015 Fischoff Educators award for creative
educational programming and a 2016 Chamber Music America Residency Partnership grant to support outreach performances in downtown
Detroit. Ryan taught masterclasses across the country and will be recording a new nine-player chamber version of Carl Nielsen’s Clarinet
Concerto and the composer’s original Serenata in vano with legendary clarinetist, David Shifrin.
Aliza Llovet and Natalie Quintana, graduate students in Music Therapy, received a $5,000 grant from the Jim Moran Institute in the
College of Business to support their project, “The Creation, Evaluation, and Commercialization of a Music Therapy Mobile App.” The app
will act as a media playlist and store, where a cappella lullabies are organized into 30-minute-long sets and by one of six languages. In each set,
the music systematically decreases in speed and volume in order to meet therapeutic goals. The app will be available free on the Apple Store
and for the Android market, while each individual set of lullabies will be available for purchase. Funds generated will support the National
Institute of Infant & Child Medical Music Therapy, a partnership between Florida State University and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare.

NEW
MUSIC
AT THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC
STANLEY C. PELKEY
Faculty and students of the College of
Music continue to champion the creation
and performance of new music. In doing
so, they build upon foundations laid by
generations of FSU faculty, students, and
alumni who have expanded the body of
classical music and jazz heard across
Florida, the United States, and the world.
The Biennial Festival of New Music is one
of the most significant means by which
the College of Music supports the creation
and performance of new music. The
Fifteenth Biennial Festival (January 27–29,
2011) featured composer Paul Moravec
and the Brentano String Quartet as Wiley
and Lucilla Housewright Eminent Scholar
Chairs in Music. (Housewright Scholars
have been featured at Biennial Festivals
since Gunther Schuller’s residency in
1988–1989.) Moravec was the winner of
the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in Music and has
received commissions from ensembles
and institutions across the United States.
The Festival’s concerts featured three
works by Moravec—including “Northern
Lights Electric,” performed by the
University Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Dr. Alexander Jiménez.
Composer and Housewright Eminent
Scholar Zhou Long was the featured
composer for the Sixteenth Biennial
Festival (January 31–February 2, 2013).

performance was screened
during the Festival. Long
received an Academy Award in Music in
2003 and has worked with ensembles
throughout the world. His works draw
upon the influences and traditions of both
the West and his homeland, China.
The Seventeenth Biennial Festival
(January 29–31, 2015) included the
residencies of composer David Lang and
pianist Ursula Oppens. Lang was named
Musical America’s Composer of the Year
in 2013 and was the recipient of Carnegie
Hall’s Debs Composer’s Chair for 2013–
2014. One highlight of the Festival was the
performance of Lang’s The Little Match
Girl Passion by the Chamber Choir under
the direction of Dr. Kevin Fenton. The Little
Match Girl Passion was commissioned by
Carnegie Hall for Theatre of Voices and
received the Pulitzer Prize in 2008.

Oppens, a member of the

is a champion of new American music. She
presented a concert of solo and duo piano
music, including Lang’s “before gravity”
(2012), “gravity” (2005), and “after

Each Festival also featured performances
of pieces by College of Music composition
faculty and dozens of other guest
composers who were selected from
among hundreds of applicants through
a competitive review process. The
Eighteenth Biennial Festival (February
1–4, 2017) will feature guest composer
Louis Andriessen and the Bugallo-Williams
Piano Duo.
Undergraduate and graduate student
recitals, faculty recitals, and large
ensemble concerts also regularly feature
major twentieth-century masterpieces,
6 FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC
new music, and world premieres. During
the Fall 2015 University Musical Associates
Concert Series, the University Symphony
Orchestra under the direction of Alexander
Jiménez gave the world premiere of
Concertante Borealis by Daniel Fulmer (b.
1964) on October 9, 2015. The Concertante
featured members of the Trio Bel Canto,
including recently retired College of Music
saxophone professor, Patrick Meighan. That
concert concluded with a rousing performance
of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony. On
October 5, Richard Clary and the University
Wind Orchestra presented a well-received
concert of twentieth-century masterworks,
including pieces by Hindemith, Persichetti,
and Stravinsky, as well as “Sanctuary” (2006)
by Frank Ticheli (b. 1958). Likewise, the first
concert of the 2015–2016 Faculty Chamber
Music Series featured twelve College of Music
faculty in performances of twentieth-century
American chamber music for voice and strings
composed by Lee Hoiby, Samuel Barber, Ned
Rorem, and the College’s own Dr. Timothy
Hoekman. The second Faculty Chamber Music
Series concert concluded with an inspired
performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s Verklärte
Nacht by Professors Corinne Stillwell, Shannon
Thomas, Pamela Ryan, Greg Sauer, and Evan
Jones, with graduate violist Razvan Berindean.

Kalhous, and Benjamin Sung, as well as in large
ensemble concerts.
Among the most anticipated premiere
performances in Fall 2015 was Dr. Ladislav
Kubík’s Flashes of Light for percussion, pianos,
and trumpets. Guest artist Barbara Butler and
FSU Professor Christopher Moore, as well as
members of Moore’s trumpet studio, were
joined by FSU piano faculty Read Gainsford,
Joel Hastings, David Kalhous, and Heidi Louise
Williams and students from the percussion
studio of Professor John Parks.
Kubík writes that the work was inspired by “the
deep history and symbolism of the trumpet...
Associated with the significant, often pivotal
moments of life, it is the harbinger of both
good and bad news, triumphs and tragedies,
blinding jubilance and unfathomable anguish.
Even though the modern trumpet is an
excellent concert instrument, I believe we are
still impressed with a sense of its timeless
symbolic foundation, as we similarly are with
the bells or drums.” Kubík chose an ensemble
comprising four pianos and percussion
instruments because of his “love of the piano
(‘my’ instrument) and my rather substantial
experience with percussion.”
College of Music composition faculty are
actively involved with the Biennial Festival
of New Music, but they are also engaged in
many other projects.
Mark Wingate (Associate
Professor of Music
Composition) and
renowned composer
Christopher Theofanidis
have been co-
commissioned by the
Houston-based Apollo
Chamber Players to
prepare a string quartet
with live electronics to
be premiered during
their 2016–2017 concert
season. This is the second time Wingate
and Theofanidis have collaborated. In 2008,
they were co-commissioned by the Austin
Symphony for “Field of Infinite Forms,” a five-
movement work for orchestra and fixed media
utilizing 22 loudspeakers.
Clifton Callender (Professor of Composition)
also continues to compose for performances
both on and off campus. In 2015, he was an
Artist-in-Residence at I-Park, a competitive
artist residency in Connecticut, and his work
Point and Line to Plane for solo piano was
performed throughout China by FSU alumna
Hui-Ting Yang. His Canonic Offerings was also
performed by the T’ang Quartet at the Yong
Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore as part of
Mathemusical Conversation, an international
workshop on mathematics and computation
in music performance and composition.
Callender’s Metamorphoses II, for violin
and piano, was recorded in August 2014 by
Emily Hanna Crane (also an FSU alumna) and
Hui-Ting Yang and was included as part of the
CD Pendulum, released by Parma/Navona
Records. February 2016 saw the release of
Callender’s gegenschein, for solo violin, on
alumnus Piotr Szewczyk’s CD Violin Futura
(Navona Records).
March 2016 saw the world premiere of Carlisle
Floyd’s latest opera, Prince of Players, which
concerns the seventeenth-century English
actor Edward Kynaston. Floyd served as a
member of the faculty of the College of Music
from 1951 to 1976. The Houston Grand Opera
commissioned Prince of Players, and Floyd’s
work on the opera was featured on OPERA
America’s web-based series, “MASTERS AT
WORK: Crafting an Opera with CARLISLE
FLOYD,” during the past year. The five, live-
streamed webcasts featured Floyd and Marc
Scorca, President of OPERA America, who
moderated questions about the compositional
and rehearsal processes from students
participating at Florida State University and
four other invited universities.

Finally, in November 2015, three faculty
members were represented on five concerts
with the Netanya Chamber Orchestra,
one of the leading orchestras in Israel. Dr.
Alexander Jiménez conducted the ensemble in
performances of representative masterpieces
that characterized states of mind and
experience at the turning points of the past
three centuries. In addition to Beethoven’s
Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 (1800), and
selections from Sibelius’s Pelléas et Mélisande,
Op. 46 (1900), the concerts featured the
Clarinet Concerto (2000-2001) by Ellen
Taaffe Zwilich, Francis Eppes Distinguished
Professor of Composition and one of the most-
performed living American composers. Dr. Jon
Holden (Assistant Professor of Clarinet) joined
Jiménez as soloist on the Clarinet Concerto,
which was shaped by the events of 9/11.
On October 28, 2015, I had the opportunity
to talk to Ellen Taaffe Zwilich about some of
her current and recent projects. Noting that
collaboration has been “incredibly gratifying”
for her, Zwilich highlighted a new piece for the
Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, her sixth
commission for that ensemble. Her Concerto
Elegia for Flute and String Orchestra, which she
composed in memory of her late husband Erik
LaMont, also received its world premiere at
the University of Miami on April 18, 2015, and
had additional performances in the months
after, including at the 2016 National Flute
Association Convention.
Given the enhanced focus on entrepreneurship
across the University and the College of
Music, I asked how young composers could
be effective advocates for the arts today.
Ellen Taaffe Zwilich noted that there are
“many avenues,” including starting their own
ensembles. While being entrepreneurial can
lead to success, Zwilich also argued for the
personal and career-building potential that
can be found in those daily musical activities
each of us carries out to maintain ourselves.
Seven years as a violinist in the American

The Fall 2015 staging of Rossini’s opera La Cenerentola

(Cinderella) featured stellar performers, fanciful and
adventurous sets, and gorgeous costumes. Attendance
was strong and included many members of the university
and community. WFSU, which filmed the opera, broadcast
it on its primary television channel—a first for a Florida
State Opera production—in May 2016. GREAT PERF
The 20th annual Rainbow Concert, a celebration of the College’s world music ensembles, featured
legendary funk musician, George Clinton, in performances of several of his songs, arranged for world
music ensembles by Dr. Michael Bakan, professor of ethnomusicology, and keyboard player Daniel
Bedrossian, a member of the “P-Funk Family.” Clinton’s participation in the March 2016 concert
marked the first time this musical master and the College of Music have officially collaborated.

The College hosted the Badke Quartet, widely recognized as one of Great Britain’s finest string quartets,
for a Housewright Eminent Scholars residency in February 2016. In addition to giving masterclasses for
violin, viola, and cello, the members of the Badke Quartet offered an outstanding workshop on performing
the quartets of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, as well as a presentation on starting, managing, and
promoting a chamber ensemble. Those who attended their recital in Opperman Music Hall, pictured
above, were amazed by the quartet’s gorgeous tone and exceptionally tight ensemble playing.

State Opera program teamed up for a gala concert
conducted by Professors Douglas Fisher and Alexander
Jiménez in January 2016. Student vocalists presented
duos, trios, and quartets from well-known operas with
full-orchestral accompaniment. The USO also performed
several instrumental excerpts, including the Overture to
Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer.

Dr. Kevin Fenton leads members of the University Singers in a concert in Ruby Diamond

along with Professor Valerie Arsenault and members of the Bach Parley, also spearheaded
the creation of the “Bach’s Lunches,” a series of noontime concerts of Baroque Music in the
lobby of Ruby Diamond Concert Hall.

In addition to performances in the Faculty Chamber Series and the Faculty

greatest jazz vocalists, founded Jazz
Ahead. Professor Barnhart notes, “[Carter]
understood how important it was for jazz
pioneers such as herself… to seek out and
nurture young jazz talents deserving of
wider attention. So the fact that Emily
[was] chosen for this group speaks volumes
as to her seriousness and her dedication to
advancing her talents in the world of jazz.
She will now have the great opportunity
to be heard by an international audience.”

“Noles in NYC” festival. Ensembles are chosen through a rigorous
application process in which their proposed programs, performances,
and marketing plans are all evaluated.
In May 2012, two student duos took the stage at Carnegie. Albert
Lee (tenor) and Edward Rothmel (piano) presented a program
entitled Montage of a Dreamer that featured settings of the poetry of
Langston Hughes. Pianists Hyemin Kim and Joohae Kim traced
their journeys from South Korea and New Zealand to America
through their program, Behind Every Artist.

Club Coca-Cola
Members of Professor Rodney Jordan’s
Student Jazz Combo traveled to New
York City in June 2015 for a performance
at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, housed in Jazz
at Lincoln Center. Led by Rodney Jordan,
the performance was particularly special
because two FSU Jazz Studies alumni (Chris
Pattishall, piano; Dave Potter, drums) joined
the performance. Boyce Griffith, tenor
saxophonist and an April 2016 graduate,
recalls, “Playing with Chris Pattishall was
inspiring to me because… he represents what
can potentially be my future in the music
field as an FSU alumnus.” Bassist Brandon
Robertson is very grateful to have been part
of the trip. “The group had never played on
a grand stage like Dizzy’s, so to experience
playing on the same stage as some of NYC’s
top jazz musicians, it was an honor.” The
Student Jazz Combo performed a tribute to
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

Participants recognize the value of this competition and the

experience at Carnegie Hall. Joshua Burel notes, “The Carnegie
Hall Recital Competition was invaluable to establishing our group...
We continue to proudly promote the FSU College of Music and are
incredibly grateful for the investment that FSU made in us as people
and musicians.” Bryan McNamara states, “I just really feel like that
performance [of Singularity at Carnegie Hall] was a milestone in my
life. It was thrilling and emotionally charged and emblematic of the
friendships we four built over the years we spent together at FSU.”

careers on stage around the country and
throughout the world. Countertenor Ray
Chenez (MA 2008, DM 2011) was recently
listed among “25 Rising Stars” by Opera
News. The magazine described Chenez’s
voice as “bold and assertive but warm-toned
and luxurious” and celebrated his “electric
presence” and precise diction. Winner of the
2014 George London Foundation Awards
Competition – one of the oldest and most
prestigious vocal competitions in North
America – Chenez made his Lincoln Center
debut in the 2014-2015 season as the
Sorceress in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. He
also made his European debut in 2014-2015
with Parnassus Arts Productions in the role
of Marzia in Leonardo Vinci’s Catone in Utica,

NEW SPACES
Ideas for the new courtyard took shape in 2012. At
that time, FSU began a fundraising initiative called
“The Great Give.” Each college had a fundraising
goal that could be marketed so that donors could
find ideas that interested them related to particular
groups or units on campus. At the same time, Aaron
Witek (DM, 2013), one of the graduate student
representatives to the Dean’s Student Advisory
Council (DSAC), focused that group’s conversations
on potential outdoor improvements around the
College of Music; one of his ideas was a project in
the courtyard. Associate Director of Grounds at
FSU, Anton Sonkin, created a concept for a musical
courtyard that the College of Music then used for the
Great Give campaign, which raised just over $4,000
in small, individual donations.

In 2013, the overall cost to create the concept as

The College’s New Courtyard Has Become a Favorite
Gathering Place
During Fall 2015, a new courtyard was installed just off the breezeway between the Kuersteiner
and Housewright Music Buildings. After the 1990 renovation of Kuersteiner, which included
the addition of the elevator serving the Opperman Music Hall lobby, the little courtyard area
was serviceable but utilitarian, and the consensus was that it never lived up to its potential to
become a gathering spot. That has now changed, as the new courtyard features a large, circular
concrete planter with a surrounding bench, as well as new plantings along its perimeter.
envisioned by Anton was projected as being between
$100,000 and $200,000, and it was decided that the
courtyard project needed to be completed in stages,
with the infrastructure work coming first. The first
stage was planned and constructed for $75,000, with
funding from the College using various sources and
gifts. In addition, the Grounds department provided
the plant material plus the labor for both the plantings
and the installation of the irrigation system. Students
now enjoy the resulting courtyard on a daily basis,
as do guests attending concerts and recitals in the
evenings. Future projects to add more details and
seating will be considered as donors come forward to
help enhance the space.
