| Biography: | Linda Kachelmeier is a composer, conductor, and professional singer with a special passion for choral music and art song for their capacity for conveying emotion through the human voice. Her music has been described as having “luscious counterpoint, deliberate dissonances, and assertive vocal interaction.” She has received numerous grants including the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Composition. Linda’s music has been performed by professional ensembles such as Cantus and The Rose Ensemble, as well as many school and church choirs across the United States and Europe. In 2024 she released “Harsh Things to Beauty”, an album of her collection of songs sung by a wide range of accomplished singers. Her vast experience as a singer and conductor has helped make her a uniquely sensitive and gifted composer when writing for the voice, from children’s choirs to professional singers and all levels in between. |
