Living Classical with Tyler Kline for January 11 - 17, 2026

On this edition of Living Classical with Tyler Kline: Composer Eleanor Alberga was inspired by a small village in Denmark – a place shaped by a single long road, where movement and memory seem to blur together.In Langvad, that idea becomes music: a piece that unfolds like a procession in real time, open to whatever story you bring with you as you listen.

Then: Imagine an ocean that isn’t of this world – vast, unfamiliar, and quietly alive. In his Trombone Concerto, Vast Ocean II, Dai Fujikura imagines the soloist as a lone figure arriving in an alien landscape, seeing everything for the first time. The music unfolds from that perspective, shaped by time, distance, and reflection.

Plus, music by Darius D. Edwards, Zhou Long, Victoria Bond, Carlo Nicolau, inti figgis-vizueta, Reza Vali, and Ambrose Akinmusire.

Featuring performances by saxophonist Nick May with pianist Alex Siu Lun Li; harpist Yolanda Kondonassis; violinist Pauline Kim Harris with violist Chieh-Fan Yiu and cellist Coleman Itzkoff; violinist Adrianne Munden-Dixon with violist Carrie Frey; trombonist Eijiro Nakagawa with the Hiroshima Symphony Orchestra; violinist Timo de Leo with the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen; and ensembles Ensemble Arcadiana, Percussia, and Mivos Quartet.
