Sound Perimeter

Today's Sound Perimeter spends time with two bassoon pieces that have stayed close to host Lia Uribe over the years. Music holding memory, shifting shape and meeting us differently each time we return to it. Past and present, coexisting.

On today's show, a group out of Fayetteville is advocating for nine bond measures on the ballot this spring, plus sounds from a snowy Gulley Park in Fayetteville.

Today's Sound Perimeter features two pieces of music, one by French composer Gabriel Fauré, and the other by American composer Meredith Monk.

Today's Sound Perimeter features Metacosmos by Anna Thorvaldsdóttir, a contemporary piece inspired by the idea of crossing into unfamiliar territory, taking listeners inside a universe where forces are felt more than explained.

In today's show, the Human Library, a global initiative and assemblage of real people waiting for anybody to ask them questions about their experiences, returns to the Fayetteville Public Library. Also today, northwest Arkansas-based Autism Involves Me leads a campaign to provide area businesses with items like noise-reduction headphones and fidget toys to offer to customers who might be susceptible to sensory overload.

Today's Sound Perimeter listens to two different versions of “Motherless Child”, one by Jubilant Sykes, and the other by Cécile McLorin Salvant. Each rendition holds the same spiritual at its center, yet each opens a distinct emotional world.

In today's episode, the Pryor Center honors life of long-time philanthropist Jim Blair. Also, the Fayetteville Independent Restaurant Alliance surpasses their highest distribution of funds to industry workers yet.

Today's Sound Perimeter explores two very different meditations on stillness and motion. Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, performed by Anne Akiko Meyers and Akira Eguchi, takes us into a space of quiet tension and spacious introspection, where repetition becomes a form of listening. And Hiromi Uehara’s Green Tea Farm, from a 2006 solo performance, offers another kind of reflection, rooted perhaps in memory or maybe in a personal sense of landscape.

Today's Sound Perimeter steps into winter through three very different musical moods.

On today's show, a new initiative to help smaller cities thrive will begin with work in two Oklahoma communities. Also, Rogers public school students gather to give back to single parents, and a new episode of Sound Perimeter.
