#sjsumusicJoin the SJSU Wind Ensemble, led by Dr. David Vickerman, for “Invisible Lines”, a powerful concert that explores humanity’s enduring conflict over borders and the invisible lines that divide us. This compelling program features Dabke by Syrian-American composer Kareem Roustom, and also includes David Maslanka’s Requiem, a poignant work that reflects on the horrors of the holocaust. Jennifer Jolley’s March! was written as a commentary on “dictatorships and backsliding democracies [that] embrace repression, ethno-nationalism, and brutality to thunderous cheers and fanfare”, while Karel Husa’s epic Music for Prague 1968 serves as a masterful commentary on political oppression and resistance. Through these thought-provoking works, “Invisible Lines” presents a musical statement on the cost of division and the hope for unity, inviting audiences to reflect on the past and envision a more peaceful future.
