The universality of the tango and the recognition of one of the best conductors of orchestras in the world.
Gisele Ben-Dor is listed as one of the best conductors in the world!
Ms. Ben-Dor is currently the Laureate Conductor of the Santa Barbara Symphony and Conductor Emerita of the Boston Pro-Arte Chamber Orchestra.
This Uruguayan led the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the London, Houston, Jerusalem symphony, the New York Philharmonic, Israel and the Jerusalem chamber orchestra, among others. With Yale University studies, she does not forget her roots.
Ben-Dor is a trailblazer, one of the first and still one of the world’s few female conductors in the male-dominated profession. Ben- Dor is a fierce advocate for Latin American composers, including Astor Piazzolla.
Her most recent, monumental and ambitious project is the album “Cien años”, which includes exquisite classical works by the Maestro and new compositions by the virtuoso bandoneonist Juanjo Mosalini, accompanied by the masterful Boston Pro-Arte Chamber Orchestra to honor and commemorate in style the incalculable legacy of Piazzolla’s One Hundred Years.
