Alec GOLDFARB
Grants
To pursue an immersive study of Hindustani classical music and expand his understanding of related South Indian approaches. Through a period of focused musical study and cultural immersion, Goldfarb will refine his approach to Indian ragas as a guitarist by learning from artists in Kolkata, Chennai, and other regions and comparing the evolution of traditions across geography, language, and performance practice. He aims to meet performers, scholars, instrument-makers, and archivists whose work intersects with his questions about intonation, tuning, and adapting classical forms to new instruments. In addition to his own growth, Goldfarb hopes that exchanges with these music communities will also advance opportunities to demonstrate how their traditions and ideas resonate on a different instrument and in a different cultural context.
