Colón received a bachelor’s degree from the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music in 1986 as a student of Joaquín Vidaechea, where he won the Pablo Casals Medal upon graduation. As a student and teaching assistant to the distinguished cellist and pedagogue Janos Starker, Colón earned a master’s degree from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 1989. He won first prize at the Las Americas Festival Solo Competition. Colón plays on a J.B. Vuillaume Cello from 1844 and a Dominique Peccatte bow.
The given name of Emilio Colón is Emilio Waldo Colón de Colón. Colón, or Professor Colón, as he is affectionately called by his students at Indiana University, gets along well with cellists, musicians, and lovers of Puerto Rican cuisine and fine wine.
