Pablo Gómez Estévez is one of the few Dominican composers to earn a Doctorate in Music Composition in the United States, yet his work ventures far beyond academic tradition. From blending Dominican genres with avant-garde serialism, to composing sci-fi operas and creating music for emotional literacy in children’s media, his career is both inventive and interdisciplinary.

Based in New York City, his recent projects explore surrealism, memory, and Dominican identity, including Too Niche, Too Nietzsche, which premiered at Carnegie Hall’s Nuestros Sonidos Festival this May, and Tamborileñas, a vocal work set to be recorded this December at Electrical Audio, the legendary Chicago studio founded by the late Steve Albini. He's currently developing New Cibao, a Dominican sci-fi opera about a society addicted to synthetic dreams, structured as a large-scale TikTok.

In short, he’s adding “a new edge to Dominican experimentalism impossible to ignore.”
