Hop on Zoom before our December concerts to get to know guest conductor and Music Director Candidate Ruben Valenzuela. Ruben is Founder and Artistic Director of Bach Collegium San Diego (winners of the 2023 Laurette Goldberg Award from Early Music America), and has toured with them to Mexico and Bolivia. He’s busy appearing as a guest conductor with some of the top period instrument orchestras across the country, with recent or forthcoming appearances including Juilliard415 at Lincoln Center, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and the Handel and Haydn Society. In addition to classical music, Valenzuela maintains a lifelong interest in Jamaican popular music of the late 1950s and 1960s, in particular Mento, Ska, Rocksteady, and early Reggae.
