First Sunday — July 6th, 2pm

July 6, 2025   Programming

First Sun­days: Sun­day July 6th at 2pm SLT/Pacific Time – Amer­i­can Tone Poems

Now avail­able on Mixcloud!

Orches­tral music has a long tra­di­tion of works that illus­trate or evoke the con­tent of a poem, short sto­ry, nov­el, paint­ing, land­scape, or oth­er (non-musi­cal) source known as tone poems, sym­phon­ic poems, or pro­gramme music. In the 20th Cen­tu­ry, notable Amer­i­can com­posers and arrangers cel­e­brat­ed their coun­try with­out stars, ban­ner-wav­ing, or red-white-n-blue; but through sym­phon­ic poems that cel­e­brate the peo­ple and scenic locales that bring rich­ness and vari­ety to their North Amer­i­can home.

You might not be able to dance to them, but these soar­ing works can fill your soul. Com­posers fea­tured include Aaron Cop­land, Ferde Grofe, and George Gersh­win. DJ Cale­do­nia Sky­tow­er, presents, live from the VCRa­dio stu­dio at SL22B — on Sun­day July 6th at 2pm SLT/Pacific Time.

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 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.
