Emilio Aguilar, born in 1989, tenor. Emilio started his musical education at the age of 9, playing the piano at the Conservatory Gilardo Gilardi in Argentina. He began singing lessons at 15, after which singing became his main focus. Upon finishing high school, Emilio studied choral conducting at the University of Bellas Artes, Argentina. In September 2010, he began studying voice with Valerie Guillorit in the Classical Department at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, finishing his Bachelor degree in June 2015. Currently he is coached by Margreet Honig and Carlos Aransay. In 2016, Emilio studied choral conducting at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam under the guidance of Jos Vermunt.
During 2017, Emilio was leader of both the full choir and the madrigal ensemble of Sempre Crescendo, one of the oldest musical organizations in The Netherlands. Emilio is a founding member of the ensemble Seconda Practica. This ensemble has been selected three times for the European Emerging Ensembles Project, which launched their CD "Nova Europa" in October 2016. In addition, the young tenor performs with several choirs in The Netherlands, including the prestigious Nederlands Kamerkoor, and works frequently as a soloist in oratorio and early music concerts: Jove Capella Reial de Catalunya (Jordi Savall), Musica Temprana (Adrian van der Spoel), Ensemble Elyma (Gabriel Garrido), Hemony (Simon Groot) and Le Nuove Musiche (Krijn Koetsveld)
After three years of studying the Feldenkrais Method with teachers Mia Segal and Leora Gaster in Bad Tölz, Germany, Emilio became a Mind and Body Studies practitioner in June 2017. In December 2016 he taught the course Body&Mind at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, together with Irthe Aya Engelhard. He gives regular workshops about singing and the Feldekrais Method directed to choirs and other musical associations, including the Dutch Association for Singing Teachers (Nederlandse Vereniging van Zangpedagogen).
Emilio is currently combining his professional work with an interdisciplinary Master’s study plan: a major in Early Music Singing at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with teacher Xenia Meijer and a major in Cultural Analysis at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, in which he is researching the politics of singing pedagogy and performance.
