Early life and education

Baggio studied music in childhood at Collegium Musicum in Buenos Aires. She later studied composition at the Escuela de Música Popular de Avellaneda (EMPA), completed her training as a flautist in 1994, and received pedagogical training from Pepa Vivanco, Luis Pescetti, Judith Akoschky and Silvia Altman.[4]

Career

In 1990, Baggio began working in children's music through Ruidos y ruiditos en concierto, a stage and recording project associated with Judith Akoschky, and remained involved until 1994. Between 1996 and 1999, she also performed in the duo Encuentro con vientos with Silvia Altman.[2][5][4]

Baggio has worked as a music teacher since 1994.[4][3] Her educational work has included workshops for teachers and school communities; in 2021, she co-led the Collegium Musicum training session Cuentófonos en el aula with Marina Sauber.[6]

Her first Barcos y Mariposas album was released in 2000.[7] On that release, Baggio was credited with composition, arrangements, musical direction, and vocals, with Martín Telechanski and Gabriel Spiller among the principal collaborators.[7] Subsequent albums in the series followed in 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2018.[5][8][9] Festival and press profiles state that the project has toured in Argentina and abroad, including Uruguay, Mexico, and Colombia.[2][3]

She also contributed vocals to "Santa Marta tiene tren" on Magdalena Fleitas's album Risas del viento.[10] In 2024, Baggio received a Pregonero Award in the theatre, music, and puppetry category, and her work has also received nominations at the Premios Gardel.[3][11]
