About Esther Golton - Alaskan Composer, Songstress, Multi-Instrumentalist
Esther Golton is a
multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter living in Talkeetna, Alaska. She has independently produced two
full-length CDs: a lyrically rich collection of songs titled
Unfinished Houses, and most recently, Aurora Borealis: Conversations with Alaska's Northern
Lights, an album of exquisitely beautiful flute-dulcimer instrumentals.
Classical music permeated Esther's early life in the Philadelphia area. In
high school, she began improvising on flute and piano, eventually acquiring a
mountain dulcimer to accompany her burgeoning interest in folk music and
songwriting. 
Later,
at Penn State University, she studied jazz, flute performance, composition and
healing music to complete her B.A. in Music.
Esther honed her craft as a poetic songwriter after moving to Alaska in 1997. Since releasing
Unfinished Houses in 2007, she has traversed the country as a performing
songstress, gaining widespread recognition for her innovative use of the mountain dulcimer.
Aurora Borealis, Esther's latest project, displays her talents as an accomplished flutist and composer, creating a meditative, melodic portrait of Alaska's
Northern Lights.
