Los Angeles Opera selects a Latina from Colombia as resident conductor in 'landmark appointment'
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Opera has selected a Latina as its next resident conductor, a decision OPERA America described as a"landmark appointment."
Conductor Lina Gonzalez-Granados has traveled the world bringing operas and symphonies to life. After serving as the conducting fellow at the Seattle Symphony and most recently the Philadelphia Orchestra, the native of the Colombian city of Cali is ready to call Los Angeles home in 2022. "Next season I will be doing opening night, the first production of a season which is a huge, important moment at the beginning of any year," said Gonzalez-Granados.
In Boston, Gonzalez-Granados founded Unitas Ensemble, which performs works by Latin American composers, and offers free performances. It was a response to noticing the lack of representation."For me it's a catastrophe, artistically, that we don't get the visibilities," she said. The award-winning conductor is a strong believer that all music has potential to be a classical piece."In L.A. in general, it's a city with such an explosion of multicultural resources. Our musics are as valuable as our beings," said Gonzalez-Granados.
