CKCU and my program may just be a miniscule voice in the chaotic turbulence of this world. But I think it's a voice that matters. The world is filling up with hatred and populist leaders who sell a vision of ethnic and racial isolation, and too many fearful people are buying into it. CKCU and my program are the opposite. A vision of inclusiveness, a vision that humanity *has always* been driven by migration and exchange of ideas and culture. That having neighbours whose skin is a different colour or whose mother tongue is different than yours enriches your life, enriches humanity. So many forces are trying to drive humanity into darkness. I need your help to bring the light! Keep CKCU going as a necessary voice in our community, in our world! Music is the greatest creation of humanity, and my program will keep sharing this wonder with you! Bring the light! Make a donation to keep CKCU running!

Tonight and Friday the NAC Orchestra is performing an all-Finnish program with Sibelius' wonderful 3rd symphony and composer Roope Mäenpää’s "Luovus" Symphony for Yoik (traditional Sámi singing) and Orchestra as well as the Cantus Arcticus, Concerto for Birds and Orchestra by Einojuhani Rautavaara. Finns make some of the most wonderful contemporary classical music, I know this concert will be special!

One of the problems is that modern communications -- or rather their spread, like waves -- favour the irate loudmouths. The majority, decent get-along people, are by their character not going to be on the web, ranting or, worse, spreading actual lies and disinformation. Thanks for your good stuff. (I've donated via Candyshop.)
