Nikhil Goswami is a classical guitarist who has given solo and chamber performances throughout the United States, in venues such as Sol Joseph Recital Hall in San Francisco, Christ and Saint Stephen’s Church in New York City, the Fairfield History Museum in Connecticut, and Kilbourn Hall in Rochester, New York. He has been described as “at the forefront of a new breed of guitar virtuosi,” and aims to bring energy, focus, and beauty to his performances, regardless of the period of repertoire.
Nikhil first began his classical guitar studies at age seven with Michael McCallie. He received a Bachelor of Music degree in guitar performance from the Eastman School of Music, and a Master of Music degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. His primary teachers at the collegiate level have been David Tanenbaum, Marc Teicholz, Nicholas Goluses, and Richard Savino. He has also taken lessons with David Russell and Zoran Dukić during his Master’s degree studies at San Francisco Conservatory. As a teacher, Nikhil has privately taught students from the beginning to pre-college levels, and has written program notes for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music orchestra. Nikhil plays a guitar by luthier Lubos Naprstek.
