(b. 1996) David Mirarchi is a Queens-based saxophonist, composer, and poet from Peckville, Pennsylvania.

He holds an M.M. in Jazz studies from The City College of New York (2020), and a B.M. in Jazz Studies from Bowling Green State University (2018).

David's artistic practice aims to combine his ever-developing process of transforming written word-- mainly in the form of poetry-- into melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and structural materials, with experimental compositional techniques, and his love for improvising. Throughout the course of his education, David has studied with luminaries of the New York Jazz and Improvised music scenes, including David Bixler, Jason Rigby, Ed Neumeister, David Liebman, Tony Malaby, and Gary Smulyan. In 2021 David was named a Fellow of the Ravinia Steans Music institute, lead by Steve Wilson, Billy Childs, and Rufus Reid. In 2023, David received an honorable mention in the Herb Alpert Young Jazz composers awards for his forthcoming recording Ink Folly Orchid Gleam (Unbroken Sounds). . Since moving to New York City, David has released 9 recordings as a leader of 4 projects: Keepsake Box, a solo woodwinds and electronics project; NONLOCAL, a duo woodwinds and bass project; Paper Attic, an improvising quartet project; and Quiet People, a free jazz chord-less quartet (two saxophones, bass, and drums). David is slated to release two full length albums in 2023: Slumber is Consolation for Keepsake Box, and a new trio project called Ink Folly, Orchid Gleam.
