Kicking off this season's residencies is Louisville-based composer-performer Tyler Taylor, who was one of the Louisville Orchestra’s Resident Composers in its inaugural Creators Corps Residency Program. Much of his work is dedicated to creating abstract musical analogies for social-political happenings, both past and present. His work often features a sense of contradiction – sometimes whimsical, sometimes alarming – that comes from the interaction of diverse musical layers. His recent commissions include orchestral and chamber pieces for the Louisville Orchestra, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Jon P. Cherry, Washington and Lee State University, Youth Performing Arts School, Chicago Composers Orchestra, Indiana University New Music Ensemble, Indiana Band Masters Association, and National Orchestral Institute, among others. In addition to his composing, he also plays the horn in various settings, including contemporary music concerts and orchestral and ballet performances. He is a graduate of Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, Eastman School of Music, and the University of Louisville.
