Michael Brook: Classical Musician in New York

About Michael Brook

Michael Brook is a guitarist, producer, and instrument inventor whose work sits at the edges of contemporary classical performance and studio craft. He is associated with Roulette in Brooklyn, where his playing has appeared in programs alongside figures such as David Longstreth and David Lang, and ensembles including Bang on a Can All-Stars and Contemporaneous, including at Long Play Festival 2026. Brook is known for developing the Infinite Guitar, a tool that extends sustain and reshapes the instrument’s role in ensemble settings. His performances favor texture and duration over display.
