On this On Air Artist Spotlight podcast we welcome local chamber music ensemble, Wildline. Host, Aaron Simms, chats with ensemble members Tessa Brinkman and Chris Gross about Wildlines work and upcoming concerts. WildLine is a new project-based chamber music ensemble based in the wilds of northern Manhattan that imagines, nurtures and performs all kinds of sound worlds, ancestries and futures. Initiated by flutist Tessa Brinckman in 2026, WildLine plays with inspired instrumentation, geo-poetic questions, multidisciplinary collaborations and commissions, and has launched their first concert season Still Here, in NYC. Still Here | One celebrated black composers and poetry featuring poet Angela Decker with flute, violin, viola, cello, and ambient percussion. Still Here | Two celebrated women composers and poetry featuring NYC poet Sharon Mesmer with flute, viola, guitar, and ambient percussion. Both programs were performed in collaboration with Morris-Jumel Mansion, Trinity Church, and St Johns in the Village, NYC.WildLine immersive concert - "Still Here | Three"Thursday September 17, 2026 - 7:30 PMOur Saviours Atonement Lutheran Church, NYC178 Bennett AveFOR MORE INFORMATION AND TICKETSFriday September 18, 2026 - 7:30PMSt Johns in the Village, NYC - 218 W 11th StFOR MORE INFORMATION AND TICKETS
