The family moved to Buenos Aires in 1928 where Bragato continued his musical studies. The devastating floods of 1930 claimed the Bragato home and piano but the connections of his brother Bruno, a flautist at the Teatro Colón, led to the donation of a cello and free lessons, which eventually saw him accepted to study at the Conservatorio Nacional Superior de Música in Buenos Aires. Bragato became a frequent collaborator with Piazzolla, figuring in later ensembles including the Nuevo Octeto and Conjunto 9. In 1976, following the military coup, Bragato moved to Brazil and took up the principal cello position in the symphony orchestra of Porto Alegre and later a teaching role at the university of Natal, where he created various chamber ensembles. He returned to Argentina in 1982 and began work for the Argentine Society of Music Authors and Composers (Sadaic) where he became a tireless proponent of Argentinian composers, cataloguing, archiving and preparing editions for interested parties around the world" Full article www.thestrad.com/argentinian-cellist-jose-bragato-dies-at-the-age-of-101/6942.article |
