Interview with Dr. Eka Chabashvili, a composer from the South Caucasus-Georgia
Behind every journey of a thousand miles lies a courageous story. Even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, the sound 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: The Sounds of Peace."
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.
In January and February, we will first explore 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.

Director Lu discussed Kinmen's over 600-year history of villages and its strong traditional clan and tribal culture. Kinmen boasts a rich literary tradition and a profound historical foundation, even surpassing Taiwan, Penghu, and Matsu.
The complex situation across the Taiwan Strait has consistently dominated international media headlines, leading to a surge in searches for information about the situation. Although the Chinese Civil War has ended, and everything seems to have concluded in 1949, the war may never have truly ended; it has always lingered, albeit in a diffe
