THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORBy Nikolai Gogol Directed by Lisa Morse

Also known as The Inspector General, this play is a rollicking satire by Russian novelist and

Antonovich, a collection of corrupt politicians and administrators feverishly attempt to cover

up their misdeeds when they hear a Government Inspector will arrive—incognito—to investigate

the city. “The streets haven’t been swept for months and there are chickens in the courthouse!”

Mistaken identity, deception, and utter madness ensue as political leaders do their best to

bribe their way out of a mess!

The MUSIC PROGRAM has been a vibrant part of the College for over 80 years, starting

with a small orchestra and chorus and blossoming to a comprehensive university-level transfer

program devoted to inspiring a broad spectrum of artists and groundbreaking community

performances. Many alumni have gone on to successful careers in musical performance or

composition in classical, jazz, popular, and film music.

Teaching excellence and creative collaborations with internationally acclaimed musicians have

long established the Music Program as a key artistic contributor to the San Francisco Bay Area

music scene. This great tradition is carried on by our performance groups, including the College

of Marin Symphony Orchestra, Marin Oratorio, the Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Contemporary

Opera Marin, and the Jazz Ensemble—all of which provide the community with free or low-cost

performances both on campus and throughout Marin County.

The Music Program offers a comprehensive sequence of courses leading to an associate of arts

degree in music or preparing music students for successful transfer into a university program as a

junior. In addition to the music major curriculum, many courses are appropriate for those wishing

to rekindle their musical abilities and interests, increase instrumental or vocal competency, or

perform with a large or small ensemble. Our courses and performing ensembles are also open

to talented high school students interested in further building their skills while establishing a

college GPA and earning arts elective credits.

Avowal – Singer’s Choice RecitalThe advanced voice class begins each semester by revisiting songs chosen from classic vocal literature. You will hear art songs and arias of composers such as Bach, Mozart and Fauré, as well as musical theatre pieces from the classical repertoire. This is our affirmation of talent and claim to progress forward.

Frage und Antwort – Art Songs of Joseph MarxContinuing the tradition of Lied, Joseph Marx (1882-1964) was considered by many to be the successor of Hugo Wolf. His songs have broad melodic lines and thick accompaniment textures, full of the high romanticism and sensuality that was popular in Vienna in the early 20th century. As a scholar and critic, he coined the term “atonality” even as he eschewed its practice in his own compositions.

Evidence of Things Not Seen – Art Songs of Ned RoremContemporary composer Ned Rorem is typically likened to an American Schubert (living in Paris) for the fecundity, emotional range, and quality of his songs.

The COM Fine Arts Gallery supports

Art Department curriculum through

exhibitions of emerging and established

artists who hold a strong vision, engage

in a critical dialogue, and are globally

relevant. The study and experience

of art provide exceptional learning

opportunities for students and the

greater Marin County community.

Access to the gallery and these

programs places a focus on fine

arts education and unique learning

experiences. The Fine Arts Gallery

serves as a classroom, providing COM

students hands-on involvement and

job training in the fields of exhibition

installation and gallery management.

The Fine Arts Gallery hosts five to six

exhibits each academic year, beginning

with the faculty exhibit in fall and

culminating with the annual juried

student show in spring. The Fine Arts

Gallery does not accept unsolicited

exhibition proposals; however, all

students have the opportunity to enter

their work to be considered for inclusion

in the student exhibition.

Marin Collects showcases significant art and

design from the private collections of Marin

County residents. The inaugural exhibit of

Marin Collects, opening in spring 2018,

will feature works on loan from the Blunk

Foundation, the Parker family, and the Cella

family. Marin Collects is intended to celebrate

the passion that moves people to acquire art

that evokes and stirs something within them.

Marin Collects brings unique pieces together

in support of sharing an appreciation of the

arts in our community.

Made in Marin presents local makers—

designers and manufacturers, artists

and craftspeople—based in Marin. This

reoccurring exhibit highlights the work

of emerging makers who live and work

in our community. Made in Marin lauds

the county’s heritage of creative artisans

and the beauty of the work made by our

neighbors. The first Made in Marin exhibit

opens in fall 2018 and will feature the

works of Ido Yoshimoto and Grayson Kent.

Supporting COM’s Fine Arts Gallery and program helps ensure that students and the greater community have an enduring, meaningful, and creative means of learning, exploring, questioning, and engaging with the world of fine arts.
