Esther, the musical artistry you possess is both engaging and compassionate and your selective renditions are authentically you… warm, enlightening and equally inspiring! Thank you for sharing the reflection of your spirit! ~ Linda C.
My family and I attended Esther Rhatigan's "Dreaming Together" concert in Northboro MA last Fall. A performance, sprinkled with her humour and her beautiful voice, brought songs that, one after the other, formed a reminder, and a tribute to, the importance of strength, friendship, hope and inspiration - even when life's challenges seem overwhelming. A perfectly curated set of songs that was both uplifting and sympathetic! - Trish M.
Esther’s performance was incredibly memorable! It’s very clear that she’s a talented professional who loves sharing and celebrating the positivity of music with her audience. Her voice is so soulful and emotive and really transports you to another place as you’re listening. She’s well-versed in cover songs and her own original works are standouts. I’m still humming the catchy tunes days later! She’s truly exceptional and understands the power of creating music that resonates with everyone! ~ Renee S.
Esther is warm, engaging, and fun! She adapts her setlist to suit her audience in a way that has all the feels. You can't go wrong. ~ Cathy B.
Esther played a private set at my home in May. It was a special group of guests: all women, all moms of special needs children. It was really important to get this one right, and Esther nailed it!
In the weeks leading up to the event, she and I spoke several times about my vision for a night of empowerment and connection. Esther listened and asked lots of questions. She asked to come see the space in advance so she could plan, she brought all of her own equipment, and on the big day she arrived early so she could do audio tests and be fully prepared to greet my guests!
In between each song Esther did a quick explanation of why she picked each song. Her voice is incredible. She asked me in advance for one of my favorite songs and did a beautiful acoustic version of her own creation. Esther made my vision of “sisterhood” that night come true, exceeding all of my dreams! ~ Cheryl C.
I hosted Esther at Porchfest in Cambridge. I found her very professional to work with. She was organized, efficient to set up and her gear sounded great. More importantly, so did her voice! She tackled some challenging songs with aplomb and handled them well. Her original material that she sang stood up well with the songs we all knew. Finally, I appreciated her upbeat personality and message shone. She’s great! - Dan G.
Dreaming Together was a beautiful, calming experience. The song choices were perfectly selected, and the overall feel of the evening was intimate and uplifting. Esther’s performance created a space where you could fully relax and simply be present with her music. It felt thoughtful, warm, and inviting for all—a concert I’d happily attend again. - Caroline B.
The musicial evening was full of intentions for all to delight upon A DREAM FROM ESTHER. I couldn't wait to hug her when she finished. Great vibe! - Rebecca B.
I've had the pleasure of working alongside Esther, so I already knew she was someone who pours real thought and heart into her creative work.But hearing her sing live was something else. Her voice has a quality that's hard to put into words.
"Dreaming Together" felt like an evening designed with real intention, where every song choice seemed to mean something. Esther has a rare ability to make an audience feel genuinely welcomed into her world rather than just watching from a distance. I walked away reminded of why live music matters. - Ben N.
