On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: Learning to be fully present in a fast-paced world inspired Emma O'Halloran to write Only Moments to Live. The piece is structured as a dance between saxophone soloist and ensemble: gestures are picked up and expanded, with improvisational sections where everyone must listen and respond… and every performance will be different.

Then: The movement of a spiral is usually depicted going downward, linked to anxiety and negative thought—but composer Ben Nobuto wanted to invert that. His piece Hope Spiral spirals upward instead, a euphoric feedback loop reflecting on how to renew joy and wonder so you can fall in love with the world over and over again.

Music by Anna Lapwood, Nicolás Lell Benavides, Arooj Aftab, Somei Satoh, Lillian Yee, Akshaya Avril Tucker, Alex Temple, Daniel Wohl, and René Kuwan.

Featuring performances by The Chapel Choir of Pembroke College, Cambridge; Khemia Ensemble; Matthew Levy, tenor saxophone with Temple University Wind Symphony; Emi Ferguson, flute; Ashley Jackson, harp; Anne Akiko Meyers, violin; Li Jian, piano; International Low Brass Trio; Talla Rouge; Flannau Duo; Ben Goldscheider, horn with Brother Tree Ensemble; Alarm Will Sound; and Trio Klangspektrum.

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Dai Fujikura.

Born in Osaka and based in London since moving to the UK at fifteen, Dai Fujikura is one of the most prolific and wide-ranging composers working today. Winner of the Silver Lion at the Venice Biennale, the Ivor Novello and Royal Philharmonic Society Awards, and the Paul Hindemith Prize, among many others, his music spans orchestral works, chamber music, opera, and collaborations across jazz, experimental pop, and improvisation. His operas include *Solaris*, *The Gold-Bug*, *A Dream of Armageddon*, and the forthcoming *The Great Wave*, about the life of Katsushika Hokusai. He runs his own label, Minabel Records, and serves as Artistic Director of the Born Creative Festival at Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre.

In this conversation, Dai and Tyler trace a journey that begins with a boy in Osaka secretly composing while his mother was out of the house, and winds through a scholarship to a British boarding school at fifteen, years of hustling musicians at Trinity College of Music into playing his work for the price of a pint, and a friendship with Ryuichi Sakamoto that lasted until Sakamoto's death. They also get into how a piece reveals itself — or sometimes stubbornly refuses to — the DIY spirit behind Minabel Records, what traditional Japanese instruments mean to someone who first encountered them not in Japan but at Darmstadt, and why a stiff neck at the end of a long day at the desk doesn't mean you wrote anything good.

04/05/2026

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: It's a reflection on beauty through light and shadow: Daniél Bjarnason wrote A Fragile Hope as a tribute to Jóhann Jóhannsson and the period when Iceland's distinct musical aesthetic was emerging. At the climax, a direct melodic reference to Jóhannsson's breakthrough work Englabörn.

Then: Composer Bill Ryan has traveled to stunning landscapes across the United States with the GVSU New Music Ensemble, performing outdoors for a decade. His Music for a Beautiful Place is an 82-minute ambient journey inspired by those travels—a slowly shifting landscape of sound that invites listeners to slow down and reflect. Hear a half-hour excerpt of this journey, and more, on this edition of Living Classical.

Music by Adam Roberts, Jennifer Jolley, Jeff Scott, Charlie Wall-Andrews, Paul Millette, Leilehua Lanzilotti, Mendel Lee, and Molly Joyce.

03/22/2026

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: Sophia Jani wanted to break convention in her Woodwind Quintet No. 1: Music as Mirror—distributing the same musical elements equally across all five instruments instead of assigning each a specific role. The piece is built as a pulsating process that changes almost unnoticeably, slowly arriving somewhere completely different from where it began.

Then: Unsuk Chin's double concerto for piano, percussion, and ensemble fuses soloists and ensemble into a single new sonorous body. The piano is prepared with small metal wedges—muted and metallic in the middle register, percussive in the bass. The result: the nineteen-piece ensemble acts as a shadow of the soloists, receiving impulses that develop musical germs or incite each instrument to tell its own story.

Music by Sophia Jani, Unsuk Chin, Chihchun Chi-Sun Lee, Reena Esmail, Bosba Panh, Adeliia Faizullina, Judy A. Rose, Johanny Navarro, Clarice Jensen, Tessa Brinckman, Ania Vu, and Tania León.

03/15/2026

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: We perceive inner light through eyes—contrasts of color influenced by emotion, memory, weather, the surrounding world. Ileana Pérez Velázquez's Lights of lives flowing from your eyes traces how light is drawn into the body and shines back out. It's music that moves between reflection and perception, shaped by a line from Matthew's gospel.

Then: Repetition as structure and accumulation as gesture form the foundation of Zeynep Toraman's a lifetime of annotations, a work that reimagines nineteenth-century orchestral repertoire through the lens of a Mahlerian slow movement. The piece folds fractal explorations of melodic lines in on themselves—a long melody, a lament, a moment in the process of disappearing.

Music by Ileana Pérez Velázquez, Zeynep Toraman, Grace-Evangeline Mason, Fumiko Miyachi, Dobrinka Tabakova, Caterina Schembri, Allison Loggins-Hull, Yu-Hui Chang, Angélica Negrón, and Jimena Maldonado.

Featuring performances by Michelle O'Rourke, voice with Ficino Ensemble; Jihye Chang, piano; Clara Levy, violin; Biliana Voutsckova, violin; Judith Hamann, cello; Stephanie Lamprea, voice; Alistair MacDonald, electronics; Laura Sinnerton, viola; Lyrebird Brass; Nunc; BBC Concert Orchestra; and Ensemble Pi.

Now streaming on a new Living Classical with Tyler Kline:

Kimberly R. Osberg's Seek What You Want to Find was written in response to Henk Pander's paintings of Portland's 2020 protests, as well as the 1948 Vanport flood that displaced nearly twenty thousand people. The text by S. Renee Mitchell urges us to look closer, to find hope without dismissing the violence. The piece ends on a thick, ambiguous chord, asking: What do you see?

Then: Hilda Paredes wrote Epitafio in memory of her mother, who passed away in Mexico City in early 2021 – far away, unreachable during the pandemic. Brass players move on and off stage, a poetic metaphor for distance and impossible travel. And then: electronics granulate and filter the sound, shifting the harmonic spectrum as the ensemble moves through space.

Music by Pura Fé, Clarice Assad, Akemi Naito, Daijana Wallace, Mary Prescott, Gabriela Ortiz, Martha Redbone, Susanna Hancock, Haeyun Kim, and Halina Rice.

Featuring performances by Dover Quartet; New York City Guitar Orchestra; William Moersch, marimba; Resonance Ensemble with Cecille Elliott, soloist; Madeline Ross, soloist; John K.

03/01/2026

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: multiple soloists stand where one normally would in Jennifer Higdon's Low Brass Concerto, a work written as a portrait of the Chicago Symphony's legendary low brass section — their majesty, grace, and power. The piece alternates slow and fast sections, moving between solos, duets, and chorales. No special effects, just the challenge of the moving line.

Then: The soul of the gamelan was said to live in the lowest gong, used to summon the gods. Ellen Lindquist's Mantra was built from spectral analysis of those hanging gongs, with a sinfonietta retuned to match their overtones. The work stretches a solo gong melody across 25 minutes, repetition aiding concentration like the Sanskrit word itself.

Music by Jennifer Higdon, Ellen Lindquist, Aileen Sweeney, Nkeiru Okoye, Cassie Wieland, Mary Halvorson, Mette Nielsen, Kaitlyn Raitz, Nirmali Fenn, and Chelsea Loew.

Featuring performances by Matt Haimovitz, cello; Andy Hudson, clarinet; Joseph Alessi, trombone; Paul Jenkins, trombone; Derek W. Hawkes, trombone; Steven Brown, bass trombone; Gilbert Long, tuba with Nashville Symphony; Emily Manzo, piano; Jonas Frølund, basset clarinet; Kaya Kato Møller, violin; Daniel Śledziński, viola; Signe Ebstrup Bitsch, cello; Kaitlyn Raitz, cello; Espen Aalberg, gamelan with Trondheim Sinfonietta; Frank Morelli, bassoon; Wei-Yi Yang, piano; and Taylor Festival Choir.

A brand new music/Maker with Tyler Kline is now streaming!

On today’s episode, Tyler is joined by composer Nicky Sohn.

Nicky's music is jazz-inflected and rhythmically driven, with vivid, colorful orchestration that tends to win over a room. Her work spans orchestral, chamber, ballet, and vocal repertoire, and has been performed by the St. Louis Symphony, the Minnesota Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Korea, and many others. Recent highlights include a sold-out Guitar Concerto No. 1 with the Albany Symphony featuring guitarist Bokyung Byun — later presented at the 2025 Tanglewood Music Festival — a large-scale ballet for BalletCollective premiered at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and Galaxy Back to You for the Balourdet Quartet, featured on their debut album. This season brings three new orchestral premieres with the Atlanta Symphony, the Knoxville Symphony, and Orchestra Lumos.

In this conversation, Nicky traces her path from an early piano start to a pivotal turn toward composition, through burnout, a reset in Berlin, and a supportive chapter at Rice/Houston. She and Tyler talk about community as the engine of her practice, storytelling drawn from Korean folktales, and writing with broader listenability in mind. Nicky also shares how a love of jazz shapes her sense of motion and harmony, and how a weekday “9–5” routine, boundaries, and life outside music have brought balance—and new brightness—to her work.

02/22/2026

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: Strength doesn't always announce itself through force. In For Edna, composer Leila Adu-Gilmore writes toward a quieter endurance – perseverance, openness, and the ability to remain connected in the face of strain. Dedicated to a close friend and activist, the piece honors resilience as something lived, sustained, and shared.

Then: Memory doesn't arrive all at once – it surfaces in fragments, voices, and the spaces between them. In It Feels Like a Mountain, Chasing Me, composer Daniel Bernard Roumain weaves spoken recollection with music, tracing how family history, loss, and care shape who we become.

Plus music by Tomeka Reid, Patrice Rushen, Brittany J. Green, Jace Clayton, Lauren McCall, Derrick Skye, Yaz Lancaster, Matana Roberts, Ayanna Woods, Tyshawn Sorey, and Julius Eastman.

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: History can move – not just through words, but through bodies in motion. In A Green Double, composer Anthony R. Green draws on Black history and classical tradition to create a dance suite where protest, reflection, and joy share the same ground.

Then: Ideas take root slowly — shaped by care, knowledge, and adaptation – in the String Quartet 2.5 by George Lewis, titled Playing with Seeds. Here, the composer treats the string quartet as a cultivated landscape, where musical "seeds" develop through motion, reversal, and growth.

Plus, music by Evan Blache, Nia Imani Patterson, Shaka Marko, Katahj Copley, Shawn E. Okpebholo, Evan Williams, Hannah Kendall, J. Kimo Williams, and Tyondai Braxton.

A brand new music/Maker with Tyler Kline is NOW STREAMING 📡✨

After a brief winter break, music/Maker returns with composer Christopher Stark for a conversation about place, process, and how the landscapes we come from shape the work we make.

In Episode 44, Christopher and Tyler dig into:

• How landscape and environment intertwine with creative identity
• The path from self-taught guitar playing in a small town to a life in composition
• Patience, revision, and trust as guiding forces in the creative process
• Residencies as spaces for artistic renewal
• Finding your people while maintaining individuality in contemporary music
• The ways our work carries the imprint of where we’re from

It’s a grounded conversation about the relationship between geography, community, and creative practice.
