First Sunday — March: Beatles By Arrangement

March 1, 2026   Programming

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 (usu­al­ly) after­noon of each month as we present a dif­fer­ent musi­cal treat: one hour of music on a theme. It could be any­thing — new age music, orches­tral clas­sics, sound­tracks, or music cel­e­brat­ing a par­tic­u­lar culture.

Bea­t­les by Arrange­ment is our theme for March, curat­ed this month by Elrik Mer­lin. This pro­gramme is now avail­able on Mixcloud.

The songs of Lennon and McCart­ney have inspired count­less artists over the decades, and many of those rein­ter­pre­ta­tions have tak­en on a life of their own. In this pro­gramme, we explore an hour of some of the finest — and most intrigu­ing — cov­ers, with a par­tic­u­lar focus on instru­men­tal and orches­tral renditions.

Expect imag­i­na­tive con­tri­bu­tions rang­ing from George Mar­tin (of course!) and San­tana to Per­cy Faith — and even Sean Connery.

Join us on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio on Sun­day, March 1st at 2pm SLT (Pacif­ic) for a rich and var­ied jour­ney through Bea­t­les clas­sics — by arrange­ment.
