ORCHESTRAL CONDUCTOR

Appointed as Director of Orchestras for the Community School at the Colburn School in Los Angeles, Camilo Téllez’s commanding podium presence was profoundly shaped as a Dudamel Fellow under the mentorship of Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

A visionary on the contemporary stage, his recent highlights include a landmark symphonic exploration of Afro-Cuban music at Walt Disney Concert Hall, alongside acclaimed cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary projects in Miami and the Midwest.

Téllez has conducted in Italy, Germany, the U.S, China, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Greece and Netherlands, with a strong focus on Latin American repertoire, performing works by Ginastera, Piazzolla, Revueltas, Atehortúa, and Márquez. His commitment to diversity in music has led him to bring underrepresented composers to international audiences, performing symphonies by Florence Price and Duke Ellington, as well as José White’s Violin Concerto alongside Rachel Barton Pine at the Alfredo de Saint Malo Festival in Panama. Téllez presently holds the position at Colburn School in Los Angeles, while also maintaining an active career as a guest and cover conductor.

"Camilo is a very efficient and precise conductor with special warmth and respect towards the musicians"

Camilo's mentorship under Gustavo Dudamel profoundly influenced his commitment to engaging diverse audiences through innovative musical projects, such as Deaf West Theatre in California, Contemporary Opera Ballet tours with the North Italian Orchestra, the "Latino MusicFest" in China, and programming American composers to orchestras in Mexico, Panama, and Colombia.

In his commitment to creating concert programs beyond the traditional repertoire, Camilo has collaborated on and developed concerts with the nonprofit organization PAXY and composers in Miami that address the challenges posed by climate change, presenting works that reflect these urgent issues
