Phil Aguglia

PaGu Batons

Member Bio Just a stick with a handle? yes, it used to be, until Phillip Aguglia went on a mission to design and manufacture the perfect conducting instrument. The cliché of Form over Function is true with almost every innovation but not with a PaGu Batons. Your conducting instrument will marry form with function resulting in a natural feeling extension that will fluidly move with the movement of your arm, wrist, hand, fingers to the baton. It all started when Phillip Aguglia felt he needed a better baton than he could find anywhere in the marketplace. He went on a mission to make the perfect conducting baton. His mission lead him on a journey to understanding what materials felt natural in your hand, what shape was best for the autonomy of the human hand, and the algorithm of shape, size and balance that lead to an incredibly accurate fitting system no matter what shape and size of the conductor. The function of the baton lead him to understanding the visibility of the baton from the perspective of the musicians or choir, light reflection, saturation and the metamerics of incandescent stage lighting. The challenge to create the perfect conducting instrument became Phil's life's passion. Today, he represents the leader in custom, hand-made conducting batons. He still works from his wood working shop in Buffalo New York and he is proud to say that almost every world-renowned conductor is holding one of his creations. When you are looking for a custom conducting baton, there is no other option than a PaGu batons, you will not find a better conducting instrument in the world. You are guaranteed that your baton has been made individually by the hands of Philip Aguglia, and not mass-produced like the typical conductors baton. We ask that you follow the fitting instructions to make sure your conducting baton is precisely fitted to the conductor. If you are looking for the perfect gift for a conductor, you have come to the right place. A custom-made conductor baton and case will be a gift that the recipient will cherish for years to come. Today and beyond: The PaGu 430 Brand Conductors Baton has evolved into PaGu Batons and continues to grow into a world-wide name for excellence in the art of baton making and our web store is becoming a one-stop shop for conducting supplies. PaGu Batons is continuing to grow into a global brand for hand-made custom batons having a presence in retailers throughout the world. Who is Phil Aguglia: Phil Aguglia’s passion for music was ignited as a student in the City of Buffalo School Public School system learning to play the trumpet. He was fortunate to have some amazing teachers that provided many unique opportunities which eventually led him to major in music education at Ithaca College where he received his Bachelors of Music Education and later at SUNY Fredonia to complete his Masters in Music.

Sebastian Aigner

Work Phone
Member Bio Sebastian Aigner began his musical training at the age of six. Violin and percussion were the first instruments that he later played in various orchestras. Viola, singing and piano followed and at the age of 17 he began studying conducting in addition to his percussion studies in Linz. It was already clear back then, that classical music would never let go of him. After his first concerts at the Linz Music High School, he became fascinated by choir singing and playing in an orchestra soon became part of his life. As a percussionist, he played in the Vienna State Opera and with the Vienna Philharmonic, the ORF-RSO Vienna, the Niederösterreichische Tonkünstler, the Brucknerorchester Linz and many other orchestras and ensembles on national and international stages and worked with conductors such as Mariss Jansons and Christian Thielemann, Simone Young, Sir Simon Rattle, Franz Welser Möst or Gustavo Dudamel and many others. Orchestra and choir conducting have become increasingly important to him in recent years. He celebrated his debut as a conductor during his school days at the Linz Music High School, where he studied a wide range of repertoire with the orchestra over the years, from baroque to contemporary music, and had his Brucknerhaus debut with Dvorak’s 7th Symphonie. He made another debut as a stage conductor at the Konzerthaus Vienna, with a concert performance of Jaromir Weinberger’s Wallenstein. During this time, he worked as an assistant to Cornelius Meister at ORF-RSO Vienna. He was able to demonstrate his broad knowledge of the repertoire as a stand-in at the Salzburg Philharmonic in projects such as the Moldau, Strauss‘ Horn Concerto and other works. Participation in the international opera conducting competition in Stara Zagora (Bulgaria) not only gave him his first opera conducting experience – Tosca, The Magic Flute and Rigoletto were to be conducted – he was able to impress right from the start up to the semi-finals with his opera knowledge and his excellent rehearsal work. He currently works as a choir director, as assistant to Elisabeth Fuchs, as artistic director of the art project “l’Ars”, as an arranger and as a freelance conductor.
