About
Hi, I’m Esteban Alvarez, a bilingual Executive Director with over 13 years of experience in music and arts administration. I bring a creative and visionary approach to leadership, combining my background in classical piano and jazz studies with strong business acumen, having earned an MBA in Arts Innovation. I love working with diverse communities to promote music education and grow vibrant arts organizations.
I’ve had the pleasure of leading organizations like AMSOIL and Chorus Austin, growing sales, fundraising, and audiences through strategic planning, team leadership, and relationship building. Outside of administration, I continue to pursue my passion for music through my projects with EACMUSIC, where I develop innovative music education programs and produce engaging online concerts.
