""...Kline — a Morehead State grad with a Masters of Music from USF — is a composer himself, and most recognizable as a voice on Sarasota’s all-classical station WSMR 89.1 FM and Tampa’s WUSF 89.7 FM. When they first crossed paths, [Susanna] Hancock was the president of USF’s student-run New-Music Consortium, where the pair worked with other students to produce contemporary music concerts at school and throughout the community.

​

These days, Kline, 27, and Hancock are orchestrating an impressive marriage between Tampa Bay’s composers and its blossoming food and drink scene as part of a new music group called Terroir.

​

Translated literally from French, “terroir” means “earth” or “soil.” In winemaking, it refers to the complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced (including, but not limited to, factors such as soil, topography, and climate). In the hands of Hancock and Kline — plus the dozens of composers, musicians, chefs, brewers, bardenters and bakers they’ve worked with — Terroir has become a must-experience event.""
