Pianist Esther Garcia Moreno graduated with a Master of Music in Collaborative Piano from Boston University in May 2024. She currently works as a piano and voice instructor in Newton and Brookline, as a choir accompanist in South End, Boston, and performs as a collaborative pianist at student recitals. She has recently joined Ensemble Lyrae and is excited to contribute to the remarkable sound of its members.

     Her journey as a musician started at an early age in Madrid, Spain, where she completed her Professional Degree in Music at the Conservatorio Profesional de Música Arturo Soria in 2017 with a mention of honor in Chamber Music, one of her biggest passions. Esther then moved to the United States to pursue a Bachelor of Music in Music Education at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. She has performed solo works and participated in opera productions, choir, orchestra and wind ensemble concerts as a pianist, soprano, and conductor in the United States, Spain, and Italy.

     As an educator, Esther has developed a teaching philosophy that centers around accommodating a variety of learning styles, ensuring that each learner experiences improvement and joy through music. She has created and delivered multiple group and private lesson plans for elementary, middle, and high school students to learn music through singing, rhythmic games, and phonetic exercises that encourage socialization and self-awareness.

     As an independent, dedicated, and passionate collaborative artist, she finds working

and performing with other musicians the most enriching form of music making.

Through her mentoring and vocal coaching, she enjoys inspiring singers to explore

the relationship between music and literature through the study of art song and

operatic repertoire. Esther is a versatile musician who is open to work on diverse

repertoire from musical genres such as classical, jazz, contemporary, musical

theatre, and opera, and who seeks growth from different musical experiences and

performing opportunities.

 

     In addition to all her music accomplishments, we thought it would be fun for our audience members to learn some fun facts about Esther!
