My compositions display a wide variety of styles, and are united in balancing a tender lyricism with tightly efficient yet complex formal architecture. Building on my expertise in 18th and 19th c. styles and forms, I write expressive music for today’s sensibilities.

“Mr. Kalcheim is proving to be a promising and accomplished young composer with much to offer the world.”
– Rorianne Schrade, New York Concert Review, March 6, 2023
“Kalcheim writes in an approachable style; he is not quite polystylistic in outlook, but certainly embraces a variety of modes of discourse…A most interesting composer; repeated listening is recommended, as there is a lot going on under the bonnet.”
– Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine, March 2026
