| Short Biography | |
| François López-Ferrer recently came to
international attention after a critically acclaimed debut with the
Verbier Festival Orchestra, jumping in for Iván Fischer and conducting
alongside Sir Simon Rattle and Gabor Takacs-Nagy at the 2018 edition of
the festival. The Spanish-American conductor is currently in his second
season as associate conductor of the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de
Chile, after serving two years as assistant conductor, and serves as
principal conductor of the Ballet Nacional Chileno. He was recently
awarded the third prize at the OFUNAM International Conducting
Competition. François began 2018 as principal conductor of the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Chile’s Festival de verano conducting Orff’s Carmina Burana, Schostakovich’s 5th Symphony and the Chilean premier of Bernstein’s 1st Symphony ‘Jeremiah’, celebrating the composer’s centenary of his birth. This was followed by a production of Giselle with the Ballet Nacional Chileno, and subscription concerts with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Chile, jumping in at the last minute for David del Pino. The rest of the 2018/19 season includes debuts with the Orquesta de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Argentina, the Orquesta Clásica de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile, the Orquesta Joven de la Sinfónica de Galicia, and the Orquesta de la Radio Televisión Española, as well as a re-engagement for subscription concerts with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León. 2018/2019 This biography is for website use only.
