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 and a Bachelor degree in composition from Manhattan School of Music. 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.
