Andrés Orozco-Estrada

Conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada has led orchestras on three continents, or four if one counts his Asian tour with the Vienna Symphony. A breakthrough in the orchestral field came when Orozco-Estrada conducted the Tonkünstler Orchester Niederösterreich as a last-minute substitute in 2004. That led to an appointment in 2009 as principal conductor from 2009 to 2015. He also served as the principal conductor of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi from 2009 to 2013. In 2010, Orozco-Estrada made his recording debut with the Tonkünstler Orchester, leading a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in D major ("Titan"). In 2013, he became the principal conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 2014, he also took on the post of music director of the Houston Symphony, remaining there until 2022. With the Houston Symphony, he issued an album of music by composer Jimmy López in 2022.
