Life

Acevedo entered the Conservatorio Nacional de Chile in early childhood . Here first studied singing and music theory with Tulio Eduardo Hempel (1813-1892), then with Ramón Galarce. Since no composition lessons were offered at this institute, he later took private organ and composition lessons with Manuel Domínguez, a Spanish composer and priest at the college of the ' Congregatio Sacrorum Cordium Jesu et Mariae necnon adorationis perpetuae Sanctissimi Sacramenti Altaris ' SSCC . He then taught himself and was hired as organist at the cathedral in Santiago de Chile. In addition, he occasionally conducted performances of Zarzuelas . As a scholarship holder of the Chilean government, he completed his training in Milan in 1902. He worked as an organist in various churches in Santiago, including the Cathedral, Santo Domingo and La Merced. His son Remigio Acevedo Raposo studied piano and composition with Acevedo Gajardo. Acevedo Raposo later directed the Escuela Remigio Acevedo Gajardo in Santiago de Chile , named after his father , where he also taught piano and composition.
