Mark Lewis Celebrates International Compositions
In late July, Associate Professor of Music Leonard Mark Lewis participated in
the Uzmah Festival in Brach, an island off
the coast of Croatia in the Adriatic.
The new music portion of this festival
consisted of twelve composer/
performers invited from all over the
world. It was an intensive two-week
program where each composer/
performer wrote, rehearsed, and
performed the music of their fellow
musicians. In addition, the composer/
performers gathered together each
morning to discuss the future of new
music, collaboration, and to perform
contemporary improvisations on their
respective instruments. In addition to the
United States, other musicians were invited from United Kingdom, Thailand, Macedonia, France, Italy, Korea and China.
In September, Lewis was in San Fransisco for the 12th Annual San Francisco
New Music Festival where Assistant
Concert Master of the Charlotte Symphony and Winthrop faculty member
Kari Giles performed his piece for
violin and marimba with Leonardo Soto
of the CSO. This event was held in the
innovative Center for New Music.
In May and June, Lewis spent several
weeks with world-renowned opera
composer Carlisle Floyd assisting him
on finishing his latest opera commissioned by the Houston Grand Opera
and San Francisco Opera Companies. Lewis studied with Floyd while he
was at the University of Houston.

Jerry Helton
Music Professor Jerry Helton, who excelled at
performing and then brought those same high
standards to Winthrop voice students for 36
years, passed away this October. Helton retired
in 2006 with the title of professor emeritus of
music. Winthrop honored him in 1987 with the
Kinard teaching award and in 2013 with
the Medal of Honor in the Arts, which is the
College of Visual and Performing Arts’ highest
tribute.
Helton, a Van Lear, Kentucky, native, studied voice at
the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and privately in New York and Europe. He discovered his
knack for teaching while studying at the Academy of
Vocal Arts in Philadelphia from 1964-1969.
While he had many of his own successes – singing tenor roles along side such American greats as Beverly
Sills, Franco Corelli, Richard Tucker and Jerome Hines
with various opera companies in Charlotte, Cincinnati,
Brooklyn, Boston, New Orleans, Philadelphia and BarIn mourning his death, Department of Music Chair celona, Spain, and winning awards – Helton found

the College of Visual and Performing Arts, said the San Francisco Opera, and the Newberry Opera
that even though Helton was retired, he taught as Company. Helton has had numerous students place or

The Department of Music Creates Two New Focus Programs
Over the last two years, the Department of Music has offered two new focus programs for our majors: the performance focus program and the jazz studies focus program. The purpose of the performance focus program is to offer
those undergraduate students enrolled in music degree programs other than music performance, and who meet the
quality standards of a performance major, an option to enroll in a performance focus program while remaining in
their Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Music Education degree program. Students may audition for the performance
focus program at the end of their first semester of private study but no later than the end of the fourth semester of
private study. Students enrolled in the program have the same requirements as a performance major, including performing two degree recitals prior to graduation. The jazz studies focus program is designed for undergraduate music
majors who wish to pursue a focus in jazz studies in their degree program. It consists of performance-oriented courses
that introduce the student to learning jazz repertory on his/her major instrument, playing jazz standards, improvising
through guided performance practices, exploring jazz theory and nomenclature, and experiencing writing for jazz
combos and large jazz ensembles.
Music Faculty to Explore Programs for the 21st Century
During its opening meetings this fall, the music faculty undertook a futures study in the department to identify those
programs/degrees that will prepare musicians for work in the 21st Century. These programs will serve to supplement
our already strong programs in liberal arts, music education, and music performance. Task forces were formed to
study several possibilities for new programs.

NEXUS at a performance
World Renowned NEXUS Percussion Ensemble
Performed at Winthrop
After more than three decades of continuous collaboration, the four master
percussionists of NEXUS are internationally revered, not just for their virtuosity
both as individual and group performers, and their innovation and creativity,
but for their ability to create extraordinary music out of just about anything:
Swiss cowbells; Chinese drums; Tibetan
prayer bowls; Middle Eastern hand
drums and Southeast Asian water
buffalo bells, to name just a few. They
create a staggering array of sounds
and tones out of the broadest array of
percussion instruments imaginable.
With a repertoire ranging from military music to the novelty ragtime of the 1920s, from the haunting rhythms of
Africa to the ground-breaking compositions of Japanese master Toru Takemitsu, John Cage and Steve Reich,
NEXUS delivers a stunningly virtuosic spectacle of sound, rhythm and movement.
NEXUS performed an outstanding concert and treated students to a masterclass.
