ABOUT RON RAMIN


Ron Ramin was born and raised in New York City. He earned his undergraduate degree at Princeton University, where he majored in music and studied privately with Milton Babbitt. Upon graduation, he immediately moved to Los Angeles where he composed music for 20 Primetime television series and 30 movies/telefilms. Ron is the recipient of a CableACE Award, a Primetime EMMY nomination, and TV/Film Awards from BMI and ASCAP. 

In 2014 Ron began composing in concert form. His works include Golden State of Mind, a 16-minute symphonic suite depicting the beauty & drama of the California landscape and its cultural diversity. The first Movement of Golden State of Mind, formerly titled Greetings!, was given its world premiere performance by the Marin Symphony, conducted by Music Director Alasdair Neale.

A former Board member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, Ron and his wife, author Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, currently reside in Northern California and New York City.

I was gratified by the warm audience response. Congratulations again on a super piece — all the more impressive, as I said to the audience on Saturday, for it being your first time at that particular rodeo!
