Sound Perimeter With Performer, Citizen Artist Yo-Yo Ma

Later this week, Fayetteville-based band Rocket Coma will release a new album. Live by the Die is the band's third album, and it was recorded earlier this year, before the pandemic began. Earlier this month, the band's Quinn Landrum, Jim Looper and Willie Kreszinski spoke with Ozarks at Large about the new album.

Kevin Blagg, who performs as Cellophane Garden, will be part of a Saturday night outdoor concert on Mount Sequoyah. It will be his first concert in months. The show, presented by Trillium Salon Series, also includes Untight. Music is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with a suggested donation of $10. Masks and social distancing will be required for check-in and the purchase of concessions.

We celebrate the changing of the seasons with University of Arkansas Music Professor Lia Uribe. In this week's Sound Perimeter, we listen to a recent performance of Pepe Rivero's Latin jazz interpretation of Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which illustrates how musicians have had to adapt to performing during a pandemic.

In today's Sound Perimeter, University of Arkansas Music Professor Lia Uribe explores how the bicycle inspires composers. In this segment you'll hear "Eine Brise" by Mauricio Kagel, "La Bicicleta Cristal" by Angélica Negrón and "La Bicicleta" by Shakira and Carlos Vives.

University of Arkansas Music Professor Lia Uribe loves her coffee. In this week's Sound Perimeter selections, she shows us loving coffee dates back centuries, as does making music about it. In today's segment you'll hear Johann Sebastian Bach's Coffee Cantata, Astor Piazzolla's Cafe, 1930 from Histoire du Tango interpreted by flutist Cecile Daroux and guitarist Pablo Marquez, Natalie Cole's performance of "Coffee Time" and Sarah Vaughan's performance of "Black Coffee."
