Camila Agosta

Camila Agosto is a composer, interdisciplinary artist, scholar, and educator based in New York City. She is drawn to the ways sound can hold memory, shape emotion, and spark connection, creating immersive sonic environments that invite deeper listening and reflection. Her work explores themes of memory, perception, psychoacoustics, and somatic experience, focusing on how sound and vibration shape our emotional and physical relationship to music. Working across acoustic and electroacoustic concert formats, installations, improvisation, and interdisciplinary collaborations with visual artists, choreographers, filmmakers, and instrument builders, her compositions range from fully notated to improvisational works. She explores the sonic potential of acoustic and electronic instruments through extended techniques and tactile electronics, centering embodied approaches to music-making and listening that highlight the human element of live performance. Storytelling and sharing histories are integral to her work, helping to construct worlds and soundscapes that create spaces for healing. She has been commissioned and performed by leading artists and ensembles, with her work featured at venues and festivals across the U.S. and internationally. Camila was the youngest fellow accepted to the American Academy in Berlin, where she received the Fall 2023 Berlin Prize. She also recently completed her doctoral degree in music composition at Columbia University. Upcoming and recent projects include Shimmer Furnace for brass quartet commissioned by Ensemble Musikfabrik, The Shape of Forgetting for chamber ensemble commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble, and In the wake of remnants for solo piano and electronics commissioned by Eunbi Kim expected to premiere 2026-2027 season.
