In the journey of "A Thousand Miles Apart," every encounter carries a story of courage. In 2026, with "Hands united in peace" as our production theme, we present the series "The Boundaries of Sound: The Music of Peace." Because we firmly believe that music is the gentlest annotation of world peace; even amidst division and conflict, melody can still convey hope and understanding. Today's broadcast date coincides with the 228 Peace Memorial Day. Music is not just melody, but also a memory and a prayer, reminding us of the preciousness of peace.
In the first half of the program, we interview Armenian cellist and conductor Narek Hakhnazaryan. In 2024, he founded the Artsakh Chamber Orchestra, bringing together musicians displaced by war to continue cultural memory and convey peace through performance. He will share how music can allow resilience and hope to flourish even in conflict-ridden lands.
The second half of the program features two distinguished guests: Midori Goto, a UN Messenger of Peace and internationally renowned violinist, and Mark Anthony Carpio, choral conductor for UNESCO Artists for Peace. Their conversation and performance demonstrate the power of music to transcend borders, allowing us to hear echoes of comfort, understanding, and peace.
On this day of remembrance and reflection, let us follow the music, cross borders, listen to the voice of peace, and embark on this journey across thousands of miles.
