SACRED BRIDGES

This program is presented during the time of the important Jewish and Christian holidays.

The focus however is on music from multiple religious traditions rather than just the two. From the end of March until the end of May, many religious dominations celebrate holidays. For example, New Year's is celebrated by Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh, Ridvan by Baha'i, Lailat al Miraj by Muslims, just to mention a few.

You can check my old blog Sacred Bridges which explains the background of the program.

RETURN TO JAPAN

At that time many facts regarding the damage to the nuclear reactor were yet unknown. Yes, 30 ft waves damaged several nuclear reactors causing one of the worst nuclear disasters ever.
The full extent of environmental damage will be not known for many years but we do know that the leak from the reactor already contaminated sea life and food supplies.

This accident proves that nuclear energy, regardless of how it is used, whether it be for war or peace, is too dangerous for the well being of our Planet.

This tragedy sends a very powerful message that nuclear energy is too dangerous for our civilization for thousands of years and we must look for alternatives that are safe for our planet.

As Earth day 2014 approaches please remember what happened in Japan as well as well as in Chernobyl.

The main feature of this special program paying tribute to the resilience of the Japanese people and composers will be the Symphony No. 1 "Hiroshima"  thought to be written by Mamoru Samuragochi.
Earlier this year the real composer, Takashi Niigaki, had revealed that for almost 20 years he was the ghost writer for Mamoru Samuragochi.
The Symphony No. 1 "Hiroshima" is a major symphonic work written in a late Romantic style. To read more about this incredible musical scandal please click the link
