Andrés Orozco-Estrada

Andrés Orozco-Estrada is one of the most charismatic conductors to come out of Latin America. Born in Medellín, he trained in Vienna and rose to lead major orchestras including the Houston Symphony and Frankfurt Radio Symphony, holding dual Colombian-Austrian nationality. There's a warmth and physical energy to his podium style that pulls audiences in. I find his trajectory inspiring; a Colombian kid making it to the heart of the European classical establishment is a real breaking of the mold. The fact that he started as a violinist shows on the podium, in how naturally he draws lyricism out of an orchestra.
