In 2024 he received his master's degree in conducting at the University of Northern Iowa and recently started his Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance (Conducting) at Shenandoah Conservatory in the fall of 2024 studying under Maestro Emanuele Andrizzi. He has conducted several orchestras in Colombia, such as the Bogota Philharmonic, Caldas Symphony Orchestra and Medellin Philharmonic. He founded the Orquesta Sinfónica Metropolitana de Bogotá “La MET” in 2019 with the purpose of developing himself as a conductor and to serve as an open space of practice for new professional musicians and students; this orchestra is projected as one of the most outreaching for young professionals in Colombia. With “La Met,” he recorded his first professional symphony album in 2021, which included five original tone poem winners of the First National Composers Competition that he also promoted and incorporates the different rhythms shaped by the diverse geography of Colombia. In 2021/22, he was considered to be assistant conductor of the Bogotá Philharmonic and Medellín Philharmonic. He conducted the Northern Iowa All State Workshop Orchestra in 2023, leading over 120 young musicians. Most recently, he has participated in the 2024 Cascade Conducting Masterclass with the Tacoma Symphony under maestra Sarah Ioannides, and the 2024 Everything Conducting Seminar with the Omaha Symphony under maestro Ankush Bahal, and he was a fellow of the 2024 Sphinx Connect in Detroit, Michigan. Recent invitations include participating in the conducting masterclass with Toby Purser at Oxford University and the International Conductors Workshop and Competition in Atlanta, Georgia.
