After successfully overcoming the challenges of last season—notably the premiere of *Algarabía*, the major international production of music, dance, and poetry that will travel to Abu Dhabi in late November—the University of Navarra Symphony Orchestra presents a new symphonic concert that will allow us to enjoy the exceptionally high technical and instrumental standards achieved by the ensemble.

An opportunity to enjoy the best symphonic music performed by students from the University of Navarra and other music schools, conducted by Maestro Borja Quintas.

BORJA QUINTAS

The prolific conductor Borja Quintas has conducted some of the most important ensembles in the world, such as the London Symphony Orchestra or the New Russia Symphony Orchestra, always combining the symphonic and lyrical worlds, and accompanying soloists of the stature of Plácido Domingo, Javier Camarena, Ainhoa Arteta or María Bayo.

Strongly committed to young symphony orchestras as a driving force for artistic and social change, he is currently Artistic Director of the University of Navarra Symphony Orchestra, the JMJ Symphony Orchestra, Choir, and Choir School, and the UCAM Symphony Orchestra. He also teaches at the Conservatory of Music of Aragon and the Katarina Gurska Higher Education Center, where he directs the Master's Degree in Conducting.

Trained entirely as a conductor at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, he develops his artistic activity mainly in Russia and Spain, although he has performed in most European capitals and in Middle Eastern countries such as Azerbaijan, Georgia or Kyrgyzstan.
