Composer Ricardo Romaneiro was born and raised in Sao Paulo

Composer Ricardo Romaneiro was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil and moved to the U.S. at an early
age. Ricardo earned a Master degree in composition from The Juilliard School (studied with Christopher
Rouse) and a Bachelor degree in composition from Manhattan School of Music (studied with Richard
Danielpour). Ricardo’s music synthesizes his major musical influences & passions: classical & electronic
music, and the percussive rhythm/beat of his native country Brazil. The New York Times described his
work (Strata) as “a blissful and compelling mix of Minimalist-derived rhythmic ecstasy and nightclub
beats”. His music has been commissioned and performed by ensembles and institutions such as the
Museum of Modern Art’s Summergarden Series, Metropolis Ensemble, Wordless Music, Celebrate
Brooklyn! summer concerts, Ensemble LPR, Nu Deco Ensemble, the Alvin Ailey Dance Company, New
Juilliard Ensemble, ACO Underwood Readings, Quintet of the Americas, the Colorado Ballet at the Ellie
Caulkins Opera House, and the Sacramento Ballet. Ricardo’s composition process and music was
featured in Esquire Magazine’s “Best & Brightest” annual issue.
