Emiliano Gavito

flute and artistic associate

Emiliano is a flautist, performer, and co-founder of lovemusic, recipient of the Ernst von Siemens Ensemble Prize 2025. Through this platform, he promotes and creates new repertoire, designing projects that encourage fresh perspectives on contemporary music. He is particularly interested in exploring instruments and performance techniques as tools for expressing social and political themes. For Emiliano, new music, as a performing art, extends beyond the sonic experience. He strongly believes that new music, like any contemporary art form, reflects present-day society and should be accessible to everyone.

In recent years, he has delved into theatrical approaches to musical performance, integrating voice and movement, and working in close collaboration with composers. His latest project, I was wearing my skin unfresh, created with composer Finbar Hosie, is a testament to this direction.

Continuously seeking new horizons, Emiliano’s artistic activity spans a wide range of performances across France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, the Netherlands, the USA, and Japan.

Having collaborated with artists from diverse disciplines and aesthetic backgrounds, he has developed a remarkable openness to new artistic experiences. Emiliano holds the French State Diploma in Specialised Music Education (DE) and maintains an active pedagogical practice, working with both performance and composition students in France and internationally.

Emiliano’s passion for the performing arts began early. Alongside his studies in flute and chamber music, he trained in classical and contemporary dance, performing with several companies at international festivals. His interest in the interplay between music, movement, and theatre led him to pursue interdisciplinary studies in the UK, further expanding his artistic research.

He graduated from the Strasbourg Conservatoire, where he studied flute, chamber music, and choreographic practices. Deeply fascinated by the connections between historical and contemporary performance, he also earned a diploma in baroque flute and trained in baroque dance.
