About Living Classical with Tyler Kline
Living Classical with Tyler Kline is a weekly radio program dedicated to the music of our time – the composers, performers, and creative communities shaping today’s classical landscape. Each episode brings together new and recent recordings across a wide range of styles and approaches, paired with the stories and perspectives that give the music its depth.
​
Designed for curious listeners, the program highlights classical music as a living, evolving art form: one defined not by a single tradition, but by ongoing imagination, experimentation, and human expression. Through careful curation and narrative context, Living Classical offers a window into the richness and vitality of contemporary classical music today.
Mission Statement
Living Classical is built on the belief that today’s classical music is expansive, varied, and created by people from every background and lived experience. The program reflects this reality through intentional curation that honors the full breadth of voices shaping the field – across race, nationality, culture, identity, and approach.
​
Each episode invites listeners into a musical landscape that is wide and interconnected, where personal narratives, diverse perspectives, and creative imagination coexist. By presenting this music with context and care, Living Classical offers a space where discovery reflects the true breadth of today’s classical landscape, and where the depth of the contemporary classical world can be heard in its true richness.
