GABRIEL AGUILAR
Cuban-American composer
About
Gabriel Aguilar is a Cuban-American composer whose repertoire spans chamber music, ballet, and musical theatre. Drawing inspiration from history, personal experience, and fictional narratives, his music blends Romantic lyricism with contemporary influences to create emotionally driven works for the concert hall and the stage.
Aguilar studied composition at New World School of the Arts in Miami, where he received formal training in composition, music theory, orchestration, and piano. In addition to his work as a composer, he maintained a professional career as a ballet dancer, an experience that continues to shape his understanding of musical movement, dramatic pacing, and storytelling. Whether writing for the concert stage or the theatre, Aguilar strives to create music that is expressive, deeply human, and emotionally resonant.
