Topic: Echoes of the Borderline: Ukrainian Women Composers and Wartime Resilience (October 17, 2026)Throughout 2026, Thousand Miles Talks About Music has curated a year-long theme, "The Borders of Sound: The Music of Peace," under the production motto "Hands United in Peace." On the third week of every month, the all-English series Echoes of the Borderline travels from Taiwan's frontline islands of Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu to regions shaped by conflict, including Ukraine, the South Caucasus, Gaza, Southeast Asia, the Basque Country, and the Baltic states. It explores the resonance between island resilience and the global search for peace.This episode follows the United Nations' International Day of Non-Violence on October 2 and asks the question that day raises: what does resistance look like when it refuses to pick up a weapon? Eleven Ukrainian women composers answer with music.
