0 Comments

 

This week on the podcast is part one of our interview with Spanish conductor, Pablo Urbina. He’s the Principal Conductor of the London-based Orchestra Vitae, and was recently named 3rd prize winner of the Siemens Halle International Conductors Competition.  Pablo has conducted orchestras throughout Europe and in Asia, and is equally passionate about symphonic and operatic genres. He is a strong advocate for outreach and education, and for Spanish and Hispanic repertoire. Since 2019, he has been an Ambassador of The Amber Trust UK, an organization supporting blind and partially-sighted children through music tuition. Make sure you visit his website to learn more about Pablo and his activities on and off the podium.

In this episode:
Pablo's love for music took a turning point when he encountered the French horn, an instrument that would kindle a life-long passion for music. We hear fascinating anecdotes about his supportive parents, and the influence of jazz in his musical journey. In an intriguing twist, Pablo sheds light on the role of vibration in music appreciation and his metamorphosis from a French horn player to a maestro conductor.

As we approach the end of our conversation, Pablo emphasizes the vital role of communication, the power of positive reinforcement, and the respect for musicians as key ingredients for a successful performance. Join us as Pablo shares his wisdom on how physical exercise, English speech lessons, and the importance of critical and strategic thinking have helped him navigate diverse engagements in different countries and foster artistic freedom. Whether you’re an aspiring musician or a music aficionado, this episode promises a riveting exploration of the intricacies of music conducting and the challenges and rewards that accompany it.
