Today, we were highly privileged to have with us Ángel Gil-Ordóñez, great Ambassador of the music national heritage and one of the most relevant conductors Spain has ever had.

Mr. Gil-Ordóñez, with a long career in North America, Europe and South America, is the co-founder (with Joseph Horowitz) and director of the PostClassical Ensemble, he is the director of the Georgetown University Orchestra and he is also guest director in some of the most reputed Orchestras in the world. His role has been of the highest relevance for our country – he was awarded the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic.

Mr. Gil-Ordóñez gave as a masterclass, illustrating different conductors’ leadership examples that are applicable for a variety of sectors (enterprise, sports, …), reflecting also about the positive connections that music brings to other areas in life and pointing out some clues about the Orchestra of the future and its challenges, highlighting that Spain is a country of musicians, full of  folklore and traditions.

We learned a lot and we were very lucky to count on conductor Gil-Ordóñez’ personal point of view on topics you will never listen to, extracting very powerful lessons with a very enriching audience at the table. Our time went too fast. The atmosphere once again was amazing and the venue, with the best views of Madrid, was phenomenal.

Thank you once again Mr. Gil-Ordóñez from the Hoya Community in Spain for this such a special night!
