Biography

Since the dawn of the 1960s Malcolm Goldstein, an American figure in avant-garde violin performance, improvisation, and composition, has probed the instrument’s timbral possibilities; that period also saw him join Philip Corner and James Tenney in forming the Tone Roads Ensemble. Arts councils and vocalists have commissioned original pieces from Goldstein, yet additional composers such as John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Ornette Coleman have created music expressly for him. Across Europe and North America he has appeared in ensemble formats, unaccompanied recitals, and collaborations with dance companies. Only during the 1990s did recordings of his work, among them the 1997 solo concert captured at the Fire in the Valley festival, begin to circulate with greater ease.
