Ricardo Romaneiro (1979- )
Ricardo
Romaneiro was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and currently lives
in
New York City. He earned his undergraduate degree in composition at the
Manhattan School of Music under the tutelage of Richard Danielpour, and
following private studies with Samuel Zyman completed his Master of
Music degree at the Juilliard School, studying with Pulitzer
Prize-winning composer Christopher Rouse. Romaneiro seeks to
synthesize his interest in electronic music with his background in
classical composition. His music has been commissioned and performed by
ensembles and institutions such as the Metropolis Ensemble, the Museum
of Modern Art's Summergarden Series, Wordless Music, the Alvin Ailey
Dance Company, the New Juilliard Ensemble, Quintet of the Americas, the
Colorado Ballet, and the Sacramento Ballet. In 2010 his
composition Sombras
was featured in the American Composers Orchestra's Underwood
New Music Readings, where he received the People's Choice
Award. Romaneiro's compositions process and music were featured in
Esquire Magazine's 2007 Best
& Brightest issue. His work with
New
York's Metropolis Ensemble includes The Rite: Remixed,
a
re-imagination of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring
for brass ensemble,
percussion, and live electronics, and Two-Part Belief,
featuring
Grammy Award-winning soprano Hila Plitmann. Presented by Wordless Music
Series as part of Celebrate
Brooklyn! summer concerts, both were
premiered in Prospect Park Bandshell for an audience of 10,000 and
nationally broadcast live on NPR.COMPOSITIONS Romaniero Links ~ ~ ~ Works by Genre ~ ~ ~ Romaneiro on Romaneiro
