ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR
His mentorship under Gustavo Dudamel as a Dudamel Fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic (2021–2022) has profoundly influenced his dynamic conducting style and his commitment to spreading the power of music through innovative projects that engage diverse audiences. Notable projects include Afro-Cuban music with the Latin group People of the Hearth at Walt Disney Concert Hall, a musical narrative of climate change titled How Dare You with the Paxy organization in Miami, a collaboration with Madhusudan and Kiran C. Dhar Indian Studies sarod master Ali Khan in the Midwest, and a two-month tour with the Italian organization Associazione ArmoniE performing Contemporary Ballet's Alicia in China.
Téllez's career highlights include guest conducting in Italy, the U.S., China, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Germany. He has been an integral part of music festivals showcasing Latin American repertoire, including works by Ginastera, Blas Emilio Atehortúa, S. Revueltas, Piazzolla, Oscar Lorenzo, and Márquez. In his effort to bring underrepresented composers to Mexico, China, and Eastern Europe, Téllez has performed works by African American composers—such as Florence Price's symphonies and Duke Ellington—and Cuban composer José White's Violin Concerto, performed alongside Rachel Barton Pine at the Alfredo de Saint Malo Festival in Panama.
