Andrés Orozco-Estrada

"I want to make an excellent orchestra out of this already fine one" (2009-2013)

In recent months he has toured in South American with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and in the United Kingdom with the Tonkünstler. He has also debuted with the German Youth Philharmonic and will do the same with the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. Orozco-Estrada will conduct the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, NDR Hannover, and the Orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin, among others.
