Written By Armistead Booker

Alec Goldfarb is a Brooklyn based guitarist, composer, and Hindustani classical musician. Active in the NYC jazz and new music communities, his work explores musical traits as historical vestiges of migrations, colonialism, geographies, labor, ritual. An exponent of the Seniya-Maihar Gharana, Alec performs Hindustani classical music across the globe on the guitar using a novel synthesis of sarod and sitar technique. In Spring 2020 he co-founded the Open Improvisations: Online Edition weekly series with Marina Kifferstein and Carrie Frey, and served as the inaugural composer in residence for Jonah Bokaer Choreography in 2018. He holds a masters degree in Music Composition from CUNY Brooklyn College and B.A.’s from the University of Illinois in Music Composition/Theory and Philosophy, is an alumnus of the Kimmel Center Creative Music Program, and is currently on faculty at NYC Guitar School.
