Browse piano sheets by Esther Abrami on Zen Virtual Piano. At three Abrami received a child-size violin from her grandmother, who had hoped for a musical career but stopped playing the violin when she married. She did not go back to the violin until she was ten, and within half an hour of doing so she knew it would be her life. A grandmother's unfinished musical path and a violin handed down at three give the instrument an early place in the family. Abrami was born in Aix-en-Provence, France, on October 16, 1996. After graduating from the Aix-en-Provence Conservatoire at 14, she moved to England to study at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester, where Jan Repko was her teacher. In 2017 the Royal College of Music in London accepted her, and she worked there with Leonid Kerbel. A conservatoire graduate at 14 who then crossed to another country for school and college seems to have moved quickly, with the Royal College of Music in 2017 reading as a next step on the same road. Around this time she began building an online presence with videos in which she practiced and explained topics, such as how a Stradivarius violin differs from an ordinary instrument. In a Study International interview she said she started using social media because she felt a bit lonely and saw people doing it for other subjects but not for classical music. Her eponymous debut album came out in 2022 on the Sony Classical label, to which she is signed, and it includes a composition of her own, Sainte Victoire en Sol mineur, for violin, orchestra and programming. Videos made out of loneliness and later a debut album with a piece of her own suggest a path from an online audience to the recording studio. Les Echos called her "the musician opening the doors of classical music to all generations", and at the Global Awards in London she became the first classical musician nominated in the Social Media Super Star category. Her third album with Sony, Women, is dedicated to female composers who were historically overlooked, and her podcast Women in Classical gives a voice to women in various roles in the music industry. A podcast and an album that both look toward women in music make a pairing that seems to echo across her work.
