From Longitude and Latitude to Composing with Gratitude with Kyle Pederson
Season 3: Episode 16

Dear Listeners,
We’re excited to bring you our latest episode featuring award-winning composer and educator Kyle Pederson!
In this episode, Kyle shares his journey from teaching middle school geography to becoming a composer whose music is performed by ensembles around the world. We dive into how his classroom experience continues to shape his writing, his recent album All is Miracle with the ensemble Transept, and his powerful philosophy of co-creation—helping singers and directors take ownership of the music they perform.
Kyle’s music is known for its ability to bring hope, depth, and meaning into the choral space, and this conversation gives a glimpse into the heart behind that work.
If you’re looking for inspiration, thoughtful teaching ideas, or a deeper connection to the music you program, this episode is for you.
