(b. 1996) David Mirarchi is a Queens-based saxophonist and composer 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 a process of transforming written word, mainly in the form of poetry, into melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and structural materials, with his love for improvising. Since moving to New York City in 2018, David has released eight recordings as a leader, for five different projects. His latest release, “Ink Folly, Orchid Gleam,” a trio recording featuring Mathias Jensen and Eliza Salem, received an honorable mention in the 2023 Herb Alpert Young Composer’s competition. In 2024, David presented his music with four new ensembles during his residency at The Stone.
He is currently working on a large ensemble project, dedicated to his home, the Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania, called Chokedamp, as well as a second trio recording.
