A Global Phenomenon: Supreme Master’s Music & Poetry Radio Show Ranks #2 in Wellington

Wellington, New Zealand – A Wellington Access Radio programme in New Zealand called “Supreme Master’s Music & Poetry” is crossing the oceans and lifting people’s spirits, ever since it began a series this March about a poetry-inspired musical called Loving the Silent Tears. Supreme Master's Music & Poetry has since become one of the most popular programmes on Wellington Access Radio out of its over 80 programmes. The show, airing Saturdays at 3:30 pm on 783 AM and online through the end of July, is also currently the fifth most downloaded programme out of nearly 500 community access radio programmes nationwide. Supreme Master's Music & Poetry is completely free to listen live and download, as its goal is to share the message of peace while promoting the arts.

“Wellington Access Radio is proud to broadcast [Supreme Master’s Music & Poetry],” stated station manager Piripi Whaanga. “This programme … is currently the fifth most popular downloaded show from national Access Internet Radio website. Recently featured has been the poetry of the Supreme Master that has been put to music in a show called Loving the Silent Tears. I believe listeners are drawn to the universal message of empathy for the human struggle.”

Supreme Master's Music & Poetry’s weekly series features the songs and celebrity artists of Loving the Silent Tears, a Broadway-style musical directed by Vincent Paterson, the director/choreographer of Michael Jackson’s and Madonna’s world tours. The musical, about humanity’s search for inner peace, was inspired by the poetry collection Silent Tears written by Supreme Master Ching Hai, a world-renowned spiritual teacher, humanitarian, poet and artist. Loving the Silent Tears takes audiences on a journey to 16 countries across 6 continents through the artistry of esteemed Hollywood and Broadway composers, who had worked on Hollywood films such as Harry Potter, Life of Pi, Argo, Dreamgirls, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The songs, with lyrics based on Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poems, were performed by a 20-member cast of pop music icons including Jon Secada and Jody Watley, Broadway stars and top international artists.

Each week listeners travel to a new country and meet two of these high-profile talents as they talk about the making of the musical, which had premiered in 2012 to a sold-out audience of more than 6,000 at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium. In addition, the musical’s meaningful songs are played in both English and the native language of the country being featured.

Al Kasha, a 2-time Academy Award-winning composer, conceived of the concept for Loving the Silent Tears. He stated, “I created this show because the message of the Supreme Master is such a great message. The show breaks down boundaries. It will lift [people] up inspirationally.”

Since the New Zealand-based broadcast of the musical series, there have been downloads of the programme by people in countries all over the world including Australia, Brazil, China, France, South Korea, and the United States. Archived episodes are available on Wellington Access Radio’s website, www.accessradio.org.nz as well as on www.OceanOfLoveEntertainment.com.

The uplifting songs from Loving the Silent Tears musical are also available on CD and mp3 format at OceanofLoveEntertainment.com and major music sites online such as Amazon.com, iTunes, GooglePlay, etc.
