Antonio Estevez (1916-1988) was a Venezuelan Composer. He began his musical studies in Caracas in 1923, but continued them in his hometown in 1925. In 1930 he returned to Caracas, where he continued with his general musical studies and clarinet at the School of Music and Declamation of Caracas. He joined the Caracas Martial Band in 1932 and the Venezuela Symphony Orchestra in 1934, playing as a second oboe. He worked and studied under the tutelage of Pedro Elías Gutiérrez and Vicente Emilio Sojo, his composition teacher.

He graduated as an oboe player in 1942 and founded the Orfeón Universitario de la Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1943. In 1944 he graduated as a composer. In 1945 he obtained a scholarship to continue his studies in the United States and Europe.

When Estévez arrived in the United States, in mid-1945, the musician had a great disappointment since Igor Stravinsky would not be teaching courses at Columbia University, and the possibilities of private studies were unthinkable both for the economic factor and for the fact that Stravinsky lived in Los Angeles.

He returns to Caracas in 1948, where he develops a nationalist style of music along with other composers such as Ángel Sauce, Evencio Castellanos, Inocente Carreño, and Gonzalo Castellanos Yumar.

Apart from his musical life, Estévez was a member of the Communist Party of Venezuela. He was a political prisoner during the Marcos Pérez Jiménez dictatorship under the charge of conspiracy.

His best known work is the Cantata Criolla, premiered on July 25, 1954, winning the National Music Prize and is perhaps the most important Venezuelan nationalist work of the 20th century. Other well-known works are Mediodia en el Llano, Cromovibrafonía and Cromovibrafonía multiple that he composed for the exhibition of Jesus Soto's works in Montreal and the Museum of Modern Art in Ciudad Bolívar.
