Esteban Ramirez: Romance Tour

Esteban Ramirez and his quartet ensemble combine his mastery of the acoustic grand piano interspersed with select poetry readings to inspire the senses. With touching ensemble accompaniments consisting of cello, flute, violin, and clarinet, his original neo-classical instrumental compositions will touch your heart, and his poetry will move your soul. If you love romance, then you’ll love Esteban!

Born and raised in the border town of El Paso and the youngest of nine children from immigrant parents, he started piano lessons at age ten. A year later, he began composing music, changing his life’s trajectory into a world of musical storytelling strongly influenced by Mozart, Chopin, and Barry Manilow.

Today, Esteban travels the country from coast to coast, sharing his music, his poetry, and spreading romance along the way. He’s released three albums of original piano-based compositions that cover the range of human emotions and experiences, from romance and heartbreak to passion and childhood memories, couched with storytelling – sometimes humorous, sometimes sad – on the inspiration behind his compositions. Esteban performs selections from his three albums as well as a few that will be included in his upcoming/fourth album.

Esteban's music is charming and captivating. His harmonies are unpretentious and direct, with melodies that are heartfelt and refreshingly lyrical as well as visually evocative.

Esteban’s music is sensitive, passionate, and rich.

I connect with and am moved by Esteban's music...particularly "Wings of an Angel." That composition profoundly moves and transfixes me every time I listen to it. It brings emotion and spirit to me that I didn't realize existed within. A remarkable gift he shares, and I hope that it touches others deeply as well.

I can't begin to tell you the joy Esteban's music and poems brought to me at his concert!!! It was magical! It touched my heart and soul. For me, it was a life-changing experience in music! Thank you, Esteban, from the bottom of my heart.
