A composer himself, Emilio Pomarico devotes much energy to performing contemporary music, coherent with his conviction that only a ceaseless and fully engaged confrontation with the musical and artistic production of our times can gives new perspectives in performing and understanding our musical heritage of the past. As opera conductor, Pomarico conducted in May 2006 a successful new stage production of the Wagner’s “Rheingold2 at the Teatro de Sao Carlos in Lisbon.

 

With this intense activity as a conductor, Emilio Pomárico always couples a continuous activity as a composer. He gained two first international prizes for composition, among which the prestigious 'G.B. Viotti' (Vercelli, Italy). Over the course of the last few years, his works have been performed at some of the most important Festivals for contemporary music in Venezia, Milano (Musica nel Nostro Tempo, Milano Musica), Parma, Torino, Basel, Geneve, Paris (Festival Presence), Freiburg, Darmstadt, Cologne (Musik der Zeit), Wien (Wien Modern) etc.

 

Pomàrico is professor of conducting at the Accademia Internazionale della Musica in Milan (Italy).
