Machines roar, race, remember, and dream in this program exploring the boundary between human imagination and mechanical power. William Bolcom’s Machine launches the concert with relentless momentum, while Saunder Choi’s Locomotion transforms the pulse of a train into a vivid portrait of Philippine commuter life. Mason Bates’s Observer in the Magellanic Cloud sends a robotic satellite across deep time to glimpse an ancient Earth, and Shuying Li’s The Last Hive Mind pits artificial intelligence against a fragile human lullaby. The concert features SJSU saxophone professor Dr. Michael Hernandez, as well as David Cortez, winner of the 2026 SJSU Concerto Competition, in a consortium premiere of Alan Theisen’s Archaic Machines, a genre-blurring baritone saxophone concerto in which jazz, funk, mystery, and science fiction collide.

Join the SJSU Symphony Orchestra for their debut concert for the 2026-2027 year! The program will include Gustav Mahler's haunting Kindertotenlieder, featuring our phenomenal faculty baritone Dr. Luis Orozco, paired with the bright joy of Haydn's Symphony No. 104, the "London." Grief and grandeur, side by side — this is orchestral storytelling at its finest. The SJSU Symphony Orchestra is under the direction of Dr. Fred Cohen.
