sic programs that provide
students with opportunities
to explore their intellectu-
al and creative potentials
through liberal arts, music
education, and music per-
formance degrees to pre-
pare them for a life of
professional, academic,
and community service.

Mark Lewis Celebrates International Compositions
In late July, Associate Professor of Mu-sic 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 invit-ed from United Kingdom, Thailand, Mac-
edonia, France, Italy, Korea and China.
In September, Lewis was in San Fran-sisco for the 12th Annual San Francisco New Music Festival where Assistant Concert Master of the Charlotte Sym-phony 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 commis-sioned by the Houston Grand Opera and San Francisco Opera Compa-nies. Lewis studied with Floyd while he
was at the University of Houston.
Jerry Helton Remembered for His Voice and Teaching
Mark Lewis
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.
In mourning his death, Department of Music Chair
Don Rogers ’75 said Helton was renowned
throughout the region as a consummate
performer and a master teacher. “His students
are performing throughout the world - a fine
legacy to his brilliant teaching career at Win-
throp,” he added. David Wohl, dean of
the College of Visual and Performing Arts, said
that even though Helton was retired, he taught as
an adjunct for the department and was in de-
mand as a teacher of voice throughout the com-
munity. "He made significant contributions to the
Department of Music, the College of Visual and
Performing Arts and Winthrop," Wohl noted.
Helton, a Van Lear, Kentucky, native, studied voice at
the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music and pri-
vately 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 ten-
or 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 Bar-
celona, Spain, and winning awards – Helton found
teaching equally rewarding.
Helton started teaching voice performance at
Winthrop in 1970 and groomed many students to sing
in major opera companies around the world, including
the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Opera,
the San Francisco Opera, and the Newberry Opera
Company. Helton has had numerous students place or
win in district and regional voice competitions including
the Metropolitan Opera and San Francisco Opera
auditions.
A voice scholarship has been established in Helton’s
memory. Contributions can be mailed to the Depart-
ment of Music.

Alumna Marit Majeske '07 Honored with 2014
LEAD® Award for Emerging Leaders
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., has honored Marit Majeske '07, house
manager for the Hylton Performing Arts Center, with one of its renowned 2014 LEAD® Emerging Leader
awards. She was presented with the award at the LEAD® 2014 conference in August in Chicago, Illinois.
Created in 2008, the LEAD® Award for Emerging Leaders acknowledges arts administrators who are motivat-
ed by the LEAD® conference to advocate for accessibility within their organizations and communities. As house
manager for the Hylton at George Mason University's Prince William campus, Majeske and her team provide
accessibility aids at Hylton events, including large-print programs for every performance and captioning for
two recent performances. Majeske, who joined George Mason in 2010, earned a M.A. at George Mason and
two B.A. degrees – one in in mass communication and one in music (minor in political science) at Winthrop.
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 perfor-mance 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 per-forming 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.
Marit Majeske
Graduate Voice Alumnus Enjoys an Active Performance Career and Dick Johnson in Opera Holland Park’s (London) production of “La Fanciulla del West.” He will return to London to sing the role of Pinkerton in “Madama Butterfly” at Royal Albert Hall.

Voice Major Competed in Boston in July in National
Voice Competition
Drummer Steve Goold to Perform with
Jazz Ensembles
Joshua T. Wald, a senior music educa-tion major in the Department of Music, was selected as one of 10 finalists in the Junior/Senior College Men Division for the first National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) national convention held in Boston, Massachu-setts, in July. Wald gained the oppor-tunity to perform at the national con-vention as a result of competing at both the state level and regional level auditions and being selected as an honors student in both competitions. He was accompanied to Boston by his voice professor, Kristen Wunderlich. Wald, who is coming off an active year at Winthrop, had a leading role as the Pirate King in the university’s performance of “The Pirates of Pen-zance,” directed by Jeffrey McEvoy, this past spring. Wald will be entering his final two semesters of undergradu-
ate study at Winthrop as he com-pletes Internship I and II courses in his music education major. Upon gradu-ation, he hopes to attend graduate school in vocal performance and con-
tinue his interest in singing opera.
World-renowned drummer Steve Goold will perform with the Winthrop University Jazz Ensemble, Faculty Trio, and Guitar Ensemble on February 28 at 7:30 p.m. in Byrnes Auditorium. Currently, Goold is the drummer for Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. He has performed in twenty-five countries, and has made appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Today Show,” “Live with Michael and Kelly,” “The Late Show with Craig Fergu-son,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and “Conan” with Conan O’Brien. He will spend two days on campus working with ensembles and presenting masterclasses on music
performance and business.
Tickets to the concert are $10 and are available at the door or through the Win-throp Department of Music office. To reserve tickets, call 803/323-2255 or e-mail

World Renowned NEXUS Percussion Ensemble
Performed at Winthrop
After more than three decades of con-
tinuous collaboration, the four master
percussionists of NEXUS are internation-
ally revered, not just for their virtuosity
both as individual and group perform-
ers, and their innovation and creativity,
but for their ability to create extraordi-
nary 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.
