La música como conexión social
Apostando por el gran valor de la música como arte y su impacto en la sociedad, desde la formación directa en la juventud y su desarrollo, pasando por fomentar valores como la solidaridad, el esfuerzo, la creatividad, la integridad, el bienestar y el pensamiento crítico, hasta la fuerte conexión que se crea entre el propio arte, los músicos y el público durante los conciertos.
Descubriendo y disfrutando del camino con autenticidad y sinceridad, aprendiendo en cada etapa, y con ganas de seguir creciendo y liderando desde el respeto, la cercanía y la confianza, con la orquesta y la música como herramienta y pasión.
Music: The Art of Social Connection
I firmly believe in the profound value of music as an art form and its significant impact on society. From educating young people and nurturing their development, to promoting essential values such as solidarity, effort, creativity, integrity, well-being, and critical thinking, music plays a crucial role. The powerful connection forged between the art itself, the musicians, and the audience during concerts is truly remarkable.
I am dedicated to exploring this journey with authenticity and sincerity, learning at every stage. My approach to leadership is rooted in respect, closeness, and trust, using the orchestra and music as both a tool and a passion.
