Kent Nagano, director of the Spanish National Orchestra: “Rosalía goes beyond pop, it would be a dream to collaborate with her”
This world music star will make her debut this month at the head of the formation, conducting Mahler's 'Second Symphony'
Kent Nagano, a 74-year-old conductor from Berkeley, California, overcame his parents' initial disapproval to pursue a career in music. Despite considering law and diplomacy as alternatives, Nagano went on to have a stellar career, leading orchestras such as the Sinfónica de Montreal, the Ópera Estatal de Baviera, and the Filarmónica de Hamburgo.
He has collaborated with artists like Frank Zappa, Sting, and Björk, and is open to working with Rosalía in the future. Nagano will debut with Mahler's Segunda sinfonía in Madrid on September 18, 19, and 20, and has written a biography, "Kent Nagano. 10 lecciones en mi vida", with Inge Kloepfer.
