Concertos At The Movies

Posted on by

This pro­gramme is now avail­able on Mix­cloud.

Sun­day, June 28th at 2:00 pm SLT, Elrik Mer­lin pre­sent­ed a live broad­cast from the per­for­mance area at Sean­chai Library, at the SL23B cel­e­bra­tions.

In keep­ing with this year’s Gold­en Age of Hol­ly­wood theme, the pro­gramme explores a fas­ci­nat­ing cor­ner of film music: orig­i­nal movie scores writ­ten in the form of minia­ture con­cer­tos.

Focus­ing pri­mar­i­ly on British cin­e­ma of the 1940s, the pro­gramme fea­tures spe­cial­ly com­posed works that brought the grandeur and dra­ma of the con­cert hall to the sil­ver screen — many of which became hits in their own right. At its heart is Richard Addin­sel­l’s endur­ing War­saw Con­cer­to, accom­pa­nied by sev­er­al of the cel­e­brat­ed “Den­ham Con­cer­ti” by com­posers includ­ing Charles Williams and Hubert Bath.

Where Have You Been? S06E01 – Mulafell

Posted on by

Wel­come to Where Have You Been Sea­son Six! This episode will be broad­cast  at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific Time on Wednes­days and Sat­ur­days from June 10th.

We won’t spend a lot of pre­cious time mar­veling at the won­der of the sixth year of us doing this togeth­er, for our Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio lis­ten­ers. Even after all this time, there’s still so much to explore on the Sec­ond Life Grid. That’s the best part of it. So let’s dig in!

We’re begin­ning this new sea­son with a des­ti­na­tion that com­bines a lot of dif­fer­ent appeal­ing ele­ments: explo­ration, cosy nich­es to linger in, and sub­tle nods to var­i­ous ele­ments of fan­ta­sy and fic­tion. We are vis­it­ing Mulafell, the cap­i­tal of the four-region Mulashire. The McGre­gor-Mid­night Fam­i­ly gen­er­ous­ly make their lands avail­able to res­i­dents, includ­ing the regions Mulaness, Mula­hope, and Mula­rune.

There are many love­ly cel­e­bra­tions of Mid­dle Earth in Sec­ond Life. Lovers of the lore of J.R.R. Tolkien can cer­tain­ly find plen­ty of places to appeal to their inner Elf or Hob­bit. But Mulafell has a great deal more than just that, includ­ing a train and boat rides. The cre­ators have done a ter­rif­ic job of cre­at­ing visu­al car­rots to fol­low, always lead­ing you to more. It is a delight­ful des­ti­na­tion to explore either on your own or with a friend.

First Sunday — June: The Flute

Posted on by

This pro­gramme went out live at 2pm SLT/Pacific on Sun­day, June 7th. It is now avail­able on Mix­cloud.

At Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio, we believe Sun­day after­noons are the per­fect time to treat your­self to some­thing spe­cial. That’s why we invite you to join us on the First Sun­day (usu­al­ly) after­noon of each month as we present a dif­fer­ent musi­cal treat: around an hour of music on a theme. It could be any­thing — new age music, orches­tral clas­sics, sound­tracks, or music cel­e­brat­ing a par­tic­u­lar cul­ture.

This month: Every civ­i­liza­tion has its flutes — rang­ing from small whis­tle-like flutes, to the com­plex con­cert flutes of the clas­si­cal sym­pho­ny orches­tra. Some flutes have wan­dered into folk music and even rock and roll. In this mon­th’s First Sun­day, Cale­do­nia Sky­tow­er explores the music of flutes from around the globe and across time.

If you are in Sec­ond Life, why not enjoy the show in  scenic Ceil­i­u­radh Glen, cour­tesy of our spon­sor, Sean­chai Library —  Nowhere­ville (194, 131, 22)
