Common Threads

in partnership with SJSU Wind Ensemble

Dr. David Vickerman, music and artistic director

At its core, music is about connection—between composer and performer, performer and listener, and among the works themselves. Common Threads explores these points of connection in a joint performance by the San José State University Wind Ensemble and the San José Wind Symphony, led by conductor Dr. David Vickerman. The program spans more than a century of repertoire, tracing shared ideas and contrasting voices that continue to shape the wind band tradition.
