Jeffrey Farrington, Piano
Jeffrey Farrington studied the piano with Robert Helps and Katya Andy at the New England Conservatory, and, privately, for some thirty years, with Sophia Rosoff. He studied music theory and composition with Milton Babbitt, Robert Cogan, J.K. Randall, and Ernst Oster. Through Katya Andy, he is seven teaching generations removed from Beethoven. Through Robert Helps and Sophia Rosoff, he studied inside the pedagogical work of Abby Whiteside. Farrington’s teaching is based primarily on Whiteside’s work.
During his time at Princeton, he discovered the music of Edward T. Cone, now late Professor of Music at Princeton University. At the time, there were no commercially available recordings of Professor Cone’s music. To remedy this, Farrington produced Composers Recordings Inc. CD 737: The Music ofEdward T. Cone and subsequently several concerts dedicated to Cone’s music. He then co-produced (with Mimmi Fulmer, Professor of Music at University of Wisconsin (Madison)) Centaur CDC 2661: The Music of Joseph Dubiel (Professor ofMusic at Columbia University). He prepared performance materials for performances (over the course of several seasons) of Cone’s works by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Jacques Lacombe. He now serves as Musical Property Executor for the Estate of Edward T. Cone. In this capacity, he is completing the preparation for publication of the works of Edward T. Cone.
Farrington teaches piano and music theory at the Westerhoff School of Music & Art in Metuchen.
