Agustí Borgunyó (1894-1967)
Agustí
Borgunyó was born in Sabadell in 1894
and emigrated to the United States in 1915. During his first
stage in Washington, D.C., he devoted himself
to writing light music for ballroom orchestras
and to the composition of several ballets, suites
and operettas according to the American taste
of those times. From the 1930s onward, he moved
to New York where he worked as orchestrator
for the Symphonic Orchestra of the Wor radio
station of New York, conducted by Alfred
Wallenstein. During this period, Borgunyó was
commissioned by Wallenstein himself to write
symphonic works of a “Spanish style” to broadcast
them on the radio.
