Denny Wayman.

- Reconciliation
- Cole in the audience at his father's final concert.
- Redemption
-
I think there is a theme of resurrection and atonement
too. It was only in the death of Mr. Holland's teaching position that
his symphony gained life, or to look at it differently, his students
didn't realize (at least not publicly) who Mr. Holland was in their
lives until his position was cut. (Matthew Phillips, Senior, Duke
Divinity School)
- Seeing/Not Seeing
- Or "hearing/not hearing":
Holland's inability to see and hear his son until his son confronts
him with that reality.
