First Sundays, November 2, 2025: The Peace & Joy of Yo-Yo Ma

Posted on by

This pro­gramme is now avail­able on Mix­cloud to Lis­ten Again.

Yo-Yo Ma is a French-born Chi­nese Amer­i­can cel­list and song­writer. Ma is known as much more than a musi­cal prodi­gy and a vir­tu­oso. He is cel­e­brat­ed around the world for his abil­i­ty to con­nect with audi­ences and for his col­lab­o­ra­tions with artists from oth­er gen­res and cul­tures. Today, Cale­do­nia cel­e­brates his works and col­lab­o­ra­tions, inspired in part by his album “Songs of Joy & Peace.” Sun­day, Novem­ber 2nd, on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio. Tune in at 2pm SLT/Pacific Time on https://main.vcradio.org!

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 at 2pm SLT on the First (usu­al­ly) Sun­day after­noon of each month as we present a dif­fer­ent musi­cal treat: one hour of music on a theme. It could be any­thing from new age music, orches­tral clas­sics, sound­tracks, or music cel­e­brat­ing a par­tic­u­lar cul­ture.
