The Children’s Performing Arts Series at Stephen F. Austin State University will present two performances of the uplifting “I Have a Dream” on Friday, Feb. 1, in W.M. Turner Auditorium on the SFA campus.
Coming to SFA just in time to observe February as Black History Month, this compelling dramatization of the life and times of one of the most influential and charismatic leaders of the “American Century” and the Civil Rights movement will inspire students as they experience Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s struggle and his dream of lifting “our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”
“The play traces Dr. King’s life from his humble beginnings in Atlanta, Georgia, through his extraordinary evolution into one of the 20th century’s foremost figures,” according to Diane Peterson, SFA Fine Arts Box Office manager and director of the children’s series. “Students will learn about Dr. King’s philosophy of nonviolence and the methods he used to bring about social change.”
Presented by Virginia Repertory Theatre and written by Bruce Craig Miller, “I Have a Dream” targets children in second through eighth grade.
Performances are at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in Turner Auditorium, which is located in the Griffith Fine Arts Building. Tickets are $7.50 for individuals and $6 per person for groups of 20 or more.
Presented by the SFA College of Fine Arts, the Children’s Performing Arts Series annually features five shows designed to entertain, educate and engage young audiences of all ages, according to Peterson. Study guides provide suggestions for pre- and post performance activities and discussions for teachers to use in the classroom. A comprehensive study guide for “I Have a Dream” may be accessed at cpas.sfasu.edu.
Other upcoming CPAS performances include “Madeline and the Bad Hat” on Wednesday, March 6; and “The Jungle Book” on Thursday, May 16.

The Stephen F. Austin State University School of Music and its Friends of Music Concert Series will present William M. Shaltis in a solo timpani recital at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
Shaltis is assistant professor of percussion at the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, University of Memphis, and principal timpanist of the New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra.
His program at SFA will feature works by Andrew Beall, Jeffrey Peyton, Jarryd Elias and others.
“Promoting the solo timpani repertoire is important to me,” Shaltis said. “There are a great many pieces written for this instrument, yet they are not performed with the frequency of, say, solo marimba or multi-percussion. My hope is to expose the audience to the technical, melodic and expressive capabilities of the timpani. Hopefully, (audience members) leave the concert with a new appreciation for the instrument.”
Beall’s “Seven to Queens” is a short work that displays the melodic and technical possibilities of the timpani.
“Near the end, the performer will pedal a melodic motive based upon (Dimitri) Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony, as well as perform passages that demand three mallets and virtuosic technical ability,” Shaltis said.
Peyton’s “Final Precipice” is a 12-minute concerto-like work that “takes the listener on a journey through a rich soundscape,” Shaltis said
Elias’ “A Hero’s Journey” is influenced by the soundtracks featured in various superhero movies, including those in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Hopefully this piece is as much fun to listen to as it is to play,” Shaltis added.
Formerly, Shaltis was the principal timpanist for the Boise Philharmonic Orchestra. He is a sought-after clinician and performer throughout North America, Europe and China and has performed and presented at numerous conferences and universities throughout the country.
Shaltis created the video podcast series “Good Beats” (tips for music educators) and “The Solo Timpanist” (videos of etudes from the Vic Firth book of the same name). His debut album, “Essence/Descent,” features premiere recordings of 21st century solo and chamber timpani repertoire. Shaltis is also a co-founder of the annual Two Rivers Timpani Summit. He is a performing artist/clinician for Grover Pro Percussion, Remo, Yamaha and Zildjian.
Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu.
The SFA Faculty Brass Quintet includes, from left, Charles Gavin, horn; Deb Scott, trombone; Jake Walburn, trumpet; J.D. Salas, tuba; and Gary Wurtz, trumpet.
The recital is a joint presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts and School of Music and is a feature of the Friends of Music Concert Series. The SFA Faculty Brass Quintet includes Jake Walburn and Gary Wurtz, trumpets; Charles Gavin, horn; Deb Scott, trombone; and J.D. Salas, tuba. Many of the pieces on the program will feature the jazz and improvisation skills of Walburn, Wurtz and Scott.
“The SFA Brass has a long history of performing this type of program for dinner theatre and off-campus concerts,” said Gavin, professor of horn in the School of Music. “We decided to do this on campus to start the semester with a concert of all popular hits and new jazz-related compositions.”
The works will be varied and will feature jazz standards ranging from the music of Duke Ellington and Harry James to popular classics by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass to the music of the rock band Journey.
“We hope this program will be a fun and exciting presentation to begin the new semester,” Gavin said.
Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu.
The U.S. Army School of Music Woodwind Quintet will perform a recital at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
The program contains works arranged for the SFA performance and classic woodwind quintet pieces, according to Lee Goodhew, associate professor of bassoon at SFA.
The U.S. Army School of Music Woodwind Quintet consists of instructors from the U.S. Army School of Music, located at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Selected from within the ranks of Army Music, they provide instruction to all newly enlisted soldiers of the Army Music Program, as well as continuing education to non-commissioned officers and officers returning to the School of Music for professional development. As Army musicians, they have performed for and entertained military and civilian audiences throughout the United States and around the world, including locations such as Germany, Russia, Israel and Iraq.
The quintet includes Sgt. 1st Class Alice Park, flute; Sgt. 1st Class Kailin Eskander, oboe and English horn; Sgt. 1st Class Charlie Brokovich, clarinet; Staff Sgt. Derek Bannasch, bassoon; and Sgt. Andrew Moon, horn.
The program features “Summertime” by George Gershwin, arranged for the U.S. Army School of Music Woodwind Quintet by Spec. Aaron Mulder; Libertango” by Astor Piazzolla, arranged for the U.S. Army School of Music Woodwind Quintet by Sgt. 1st Class Charlie Brokovich; and “Quintet” by Carl Nielsen, among other works.
Featured in Gershwin’s opera “Porgy and Bess,” “Summertime” is considered one of the composer’s greatest compositions, and a definitive American aria, according to Staff Sgt. Bannasch.
“It was arranged for the quintet by one of our former students, Spec. Aaron Mulder, a 2017 graduate of the U.S. Army School of Music’s Basic Music Course, who currently serves as a saxophonist with the 484th Army Band in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,” Bannasch said.
Piazzolla’s music has become popular for woodwind musicians who want to expand beyond the traditional repertoire and delve into new styles, Bannasch said. His “Libertango” was originally written for traditional Argentine tango instrumentation, but has been adapted for nearly every variety and combination of instruments and singers.
Consisting of four movements, roughly echoing the form of a symphony, Nielsen’s “Quintet” is widely considered the seminal masterwork for woodwind quintet.
Staff Sgt. Daniel McBride, who is the Army music auditions coordinator for Texas, will accompany the quintet. He will be available before and after the performance to speak with students about career opportunities and auditions for Army Music.
Admission is free. For more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu.
Hyun Ji Oh
A feature of the Friends of Music Concert Series, the tuba and euphonium recital will include works by Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn and Philip Sparke, among others. The recital is the first of six Chapa will perform this semester at various universities, among them St. Mary’s University, University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas State University and Washington State University.
Theme and Variations on “Das Wandern” from Die Schöne Müllerin by Schubert features variations composed by Chapa, who will perform on euphonium on this piece.
“I composed each variation based on all of the popular theme and variations solos by Jean-Baptiste Arban, Arthur Pryor, Joseph De Luca, and others I had performed throughout my career,” Chapa said. “The simple harmonies and melodic line allowed me to focus on creating something that was technically challenging yet very listenable.”
Dr. Daniel Chapa
“I first encountered this collection of pieces in one of my music theory classes during my time as a graduate student at the University of North Texas,” Chapa said. “After analyzing and listening to the beautiful melodic lines, I also noticed that most of the melodies stayed in the upper voice for the entirety of the song. This type of scoring made the pieces very easy to arrange and a lot of fun to play!”
Sparke’s “Song for Ina” was originally composed for euphonium solo with brass band, and it has since been arranged for a variety of instrumentations. This particular arrangement is for solo tuba and piano.
Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu.
The Friends of Music Concert Series at Stephen F. Austin State University will present Duo Karudan in a faculty-guest recital at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
Duo Karudan includes Christopher Ayer, professor of clarinet in the SFA School of Music, and his wife, Kae Hosoda-Ayer, who is associate professor of piano at Baylor University.
Ayer describes the recital as special because the program includes five pieces for clarinet and piano, all written by Canadian composers. Ayer grew up in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and attended Acadia University in Nova Scotia.
“I’ve always wanted to compile some pieces into a Canadian program to perform,” he said. “What makes this more exciting is that the recital is part of our preparation to record these works, which we will do next summer.”
Program works include Sonata by Leslie Mann; “Approaching the Spring Place” by Michael Miller; Sonata by Oscar Morawetz; “Passages” by Sid Robinovitch; and “Propulsions” by William Wallace.
Wallace, Robinovitch and Miller are all still living, and Miller, in fact, currently resides in Ayer’s hometown of Fredericton and has been active recently composing and performing.
“Obviously, very few people will be familiar with this music, so it’s a great chance to come out and hear some new things,” Ayer said. “I chose these works because I believe they are all accessible to musicians and non-musicians alike.”
“Approaching the Spring Place” will remind some listeners of the 20th century British traditions of composition in the vein of Gerald Finzi, Arthur Bliss and John Ireland, Ayer said. He described “Propulsions” as “a real barn-burner,” and the Morawetz and Mann Sonatas, while perhaps slightly more esoteric in nature, as “immediately arresting and interesting to listen to,” he said.
“I have a personal connection with the Mann Sonata as I performed it at my first appearance at the Canadian National Music Festival, an annual national music competition, representing the province of New Brunswick,” he said. “Leslie Mann was a clarinetist in the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra for many years, and he was the teacher of my first clarinet teacher, Jane Bowden. So, it’s very special for me to perform it and record it.”
The concert is a presentation of the College of Fine Arts and School of Music. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu.
Dr. Brad Meyer, director of percussion studies at Stephen F. Austin State University, will perform works by Christopher Deane, Kevin Bobo, Alejandro Viñao and others in a faculty recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
The recital is a joint presentation of the SFA College of Fine Arts and School of Music and is a feature of the Friends of Music Concert Series.
The program features Meyer’s own “Seven Images,” which he composed after returning from Slovenia where he presented clinics and performed in the fall of 2012. While there, he sampled as much of the culture and art as time would allow, spending a good amount of time in the city of Ljubljana.
“One of the many places I explored was its Moderna Galerija (Museum of Modern Art), which is located next to Tivoli, a park similar to Manhattan’s Central Park,” Meyer said. “As soon as I entered the museum, I was immediately captivated by several large-scale installations. These installations stayed in my memory long after I had left Slovenia. Because of my fascination with the museum and its art, I decided to create seven snare drum solos based off of seven of the most memorable installations and pieces of art I witnessed.”
Deane’s “Dis Qui Etude” is a concert work for solo vibraphone that was commissioned by and is dedicated to Robert Parks. The piece is a study of the sound a vibraphonist can produce by using a special mallet made from a commercial paint stir stick that has been modified. This hybrid mallet has many surfaces with which to strike or scrape in order to produce musical sounds, according to the composer.
Bobo’s “Tantrum” is an experimental composition for solo snare drum that contains four main sections and explores a wide range of tone colors on the instrument through the use of specified playing zones, special techniques that create a wide variety of timbres, and the extreme use of dynamics, the composer explains.
Viñao’s piece “Khan Variation”s features eight rhythmic variations based on a traditional theme from Qawwali music as sung by Ali Kahn. Viñao developed each variation by exploring a different rhythmic and melodic aspect of the original theme.
Other program selections include “Suomineito” by Nebjša Jovan Živković and “Hymning” by Robert Honstein.
Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for seniors and $3 for students and youth. For tickets or more information, call the SFA Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu.
SFA Gardens at Stephen F. Austin State University will host an orientation and training for volunteers from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Feb. 6, in the Brundrett Conservation Education Building at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center at 2900 Raguet St. in Nacogdoches.
The training will prepare volunteers to present environmental education programs to area school children throughout the year. These programs introduce students to the natural world through hands-on activities.
“Area residents are invited to join some great people and gorgeous plants in the garden for the spring 2019 Garden Guide training class,” said Elyce Rodewald, SFA Gardens education coordinator.
During school programs at the SFA Gardens, students might explore the inside of a flower or learn about honeybee communication. They also may take a closer look at soil, investigate water quality or discover interesting native plants. Volunteers are not required to have advanced horticulture knowledge, but they do need a love and appreciation for energetic, curious children.
To register for the class, or for more information, contact Rodewald at (936) 468-1832 or email sfagardens@sfasu.edu.
