DESCRIPTION:The Keene State College Concert Band presents the second conce
 rt in this year’s Music of Social Justice Series\, “Reflections on Ame
 rica.” This concert explores the music of immigrants\, themes of immigra
 tion\, and holds up the mirror to us as a country. We are proud to share t
 he stage with the Keene High School Band for this performance.\nThe Keene 
 State College Concert Band is celebrating nearly 50 years as a campus-comm
 unity group\, composed of musicians from every walk of life\, ages 18 to 8
 8. With a rich history of entertaining and educating\, the ensemble is pro
 ud to promote the creation and performance of new music\, particularly by 
 musicians from under-represented populations. This concert will also featu
 re the Keene High School Band\, under the direction of KSC alumnus Mr. Jos
 eph Conti (’18).\nAs a country of immigrants\, the fabric of our nation 
 is reflected in our music. In this performance\, we explore music by immig
 rants and children of immigrants\, music about immigrants and immigration\
 , and we reaffirm the echoing call to “give me your tired\, your poor\, 
 your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” inscribed on the Statue of
  Liberty. We also remember the families and lives torn asunder by gun viol
 ence\, and present our Bernstein-inspired reply\, “to make music more in
 tensely\, more beautifully\, more devotedly than ever before.”
