Samuel Lord Kalcheim loved music from his earliest days, dancing around the house to Beethoven concertos and conducting imaginary orchestras. Now he pursues music passionately as composer, conductor, performer, and teacher. Samuel's compositions display a wide variety of stylistic practices, but are united in balancing a tender lyricism with tightly efficient yet complex formal architecture.
