Raul Quines is a Filipino-American composer and singer-songwriter. His main instruments are the piano, guitar and voice. When asked what his music sounds like, he says, “if Beethoven, The Beatles and Queen got together in a 1-man band, that’s what it might sound like!” His latest released works include Music for Lamentation (a 9/11 dedication piece for string orchestra), “There’s A Bridge” (for solo classical guitar), “Lilac Wine” (voice and telecaster), “Mesmerized” (voice, piano, electric guitars and strings) and MOONS & ARCHES (debut solo EP); available on all streaming platforms! Mr. Quines received his formal training at the Manhattan School of Music in Composition and Piano (BM), and at Hunter College [MA - Composition and Ethnomusicology]. His chamber works have been performed by some of today’s lauded contemporary music ensembles: the Locrian Chamber Players, Composers Concordance, Absolute Ensemble, Sweet Plantain, Soundclock Ensemble, and the Attacca Quartet; his orchestral works presented by the Vivace Orchestra (of Stringendo), West Chester Chamber Orchestra and the Manhattan Composers Orchestra. Select compositions of Raul Quines are distributed by Building Moons & Arches Publishing. When not engaged in music, he enjoys cooking, reading and writing poetry and golfing. He’s a recipient of the American Music Center Award.
