The Institute for Social Justice in the Arts @ TCNJ invites you to attend a special event for high school students. This event is free and will take place in the Music Building.
Description:
“Hate cannot drive out hate: Only love can do that.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Explore issues of social justice and the hope for peace through music! Attend a TCNJ Wind Ensemble concert and hear music composed in response to the Holocaust, Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech, the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, and systemic racism. Participate in a pre-concert class lead by TCNJ professors to learn about these pieces and to share how your experiences with race, violence, and other equity issues resonate with this music.
