In this episode, I chat with Professor David Kechley. Professor Kechley is an American composer whose music spans orchestral, chamber, and solo genres, blending influences from classical, contemporary, and vernacular traditions. Known for his dynamic contrasts of lyricism and virtuosity, Professor Kechley’s works have been performed by major ensembles such as the Minnesota Orchestra, Boston Pops, and Kronos Quartet. A Guggenheim Fellow and recipient of multiple NEA grants, he has held residencies at Yaddo, MacDowell, and the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center. His music is published by Pine Valley Press and released on Liscio, Albany, and Reference Recordings.
