Malcolm Goldstein (b. 1936, Brooklyn, NY) is an American-Canadian composer, violinist, and improviser who has been active in the presentation of new music and dance internationally for more than six decades. In 1960 he received an M.A. in music composition from Columbia University, where he studied with Otto Luening. Later that decade, he co-founded the Tone Roads Ensemble with Philip Corner and James Tenney and was a participant in the Judson Dance Theater, the New York Festival of the Avant-Garde, and the Experimental Intermedia Foundation. As a solo performer, Goldstein’s “soundings” improvisations have reinvented the sonic and expressive possibilities of the violin, and as a composer he has consistently integrated new performance techniques and aspects of structured improvisation into a variety of instrumental and vocal frameworks. He has also written extensively on improvisation, most notably in his book Sounding the Full Circle.
