Kyle Morrow is a Filipino American musical storyteller currently based in Seattle, Washington and Cebu in the Philippines.
Although he comes from a primarily classical and “post-tonal” music background, Kyle’s recent work also draws on his Filipino and Cajun cultures; these contrasting traditions create a distinctly identifiable style. He is particularly interested in the use of traditional instrumentation and storytelling in folk music. He is also deeply inspired by minimalist composer Julius Eastman, whose organic music influence can be heard in much of Kyle’s work.
Kyle received his Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in composition from Cornish College of the Arts in 2020. Since then, he has thrown himself into expanding his musical horizons; he has explored traditional musical theatre as a music director, and his ever-growing list of instruments includes piano, percussion, mandolin, banjo, and accordion.
As Resident Music Director with Magpie Artists’ Ensemble, Kyle has developed a unique method for improvised scores to accompany physical theatre pieces. His credits with Magpie include stories and music for Fable: Tales from Another World (2024) & The Endless Tour (2026), music direction for Camelot (2025), and composition/conducting of the improvised live score for Arthuriana: Arthurian Legends for a New Age (2025).
Beyond his work in music, Kyle is an avid craftsman. When not in the rehearsal room, you can find him hand-binding books, painting D&D minis, and woodworking (you may have seen his infamous hand-crafted six foot windchimes onstage during Arthuriana!).
