January 3, 2026 A Thousand Miles, talks about music: "The Boundaries of Sound: Echoes of Peace" – Hearing the South Caucasus, Georgia Behind every journey of destiny lies a courageous story. Even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, the voice of peace will eventually be heard. In 2026, with "Hands united in peace" as our central theme, we curate a year-long peace music exhibition, "The Boundaries of Sound: Echoes of Peace." In the cracks of the world, music has never been absent. From the military ceremonies at Panmunjom to the piano sounds in the tents of Gaza; from the lamentations of Nagorno-Karabakh to the Nanguan drumbeats of Kinmen Island—music has always been the language by which humanity seeks understanding, remembrance, and peace at its borders. This is a program project spanning geographical and cultural fields, weaving a sonic landscape that transcends language, politics, and history through the voices of 60 composers, performers, cultural promoters, and policymakers from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Central Asia, the Basque Country, South Korea, Gaza, Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu. Here, music is not merely a presentation, but a reconstruction of narrative. Each episode will explore how music can preserve culture amidst conflict, initiate dialogue amidst trauma, and resonate in silence, using "sound as a weapon" and "music as solace" as dual axes. The special project, "Women's Month," will focus on the creative journeys of female composers from the Caucasus and Ukraine. In January and February, we will first step into the musical world of the South Caucasus—Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. The melodies of this land carry ancient memories and respond to contemporary calls, setting the stage for a year-long peace music curation. Because we believe: when language fails, sound can still reach; when borders are erected, music can still transcend. Through radio, we invite you to listen to the voices from the edges of the world—voices that are not just memories, but possibilities for the future. Today's special guest is Dr. Maka Virsaladze, a composer from Georgia. Let's step into her musical world and listen to how she responds to history with melodies and calls for peace through her creations. 【Traversing Time and Space, Civilizations Meet】Kinmen, an island of expatriates, is both a frontline and a hometown of overseas Chinese, filled with the aroma of spicy liquor and bak kut teh. The host, using a "mobile broadcasting studio" concept, visited Director Lu Genzhen of the Kinmen County Cultural Park Management Office at the Kinmen History and Folk Museum. Director Lu discussed Kinmen's over 600-year history of villages and its strong traditional clan and tribal culture. Kinmen boasts a rich cultural heritage and a profound historical foundation, even surpassing Taiwan, Penghu, and Matsu. This is a series of interviews, to be broadcast in four episodes in January.
