Following a worldwide search that attracted more than 100 conductors, the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra has appointed Mexican conductor Felipe Tristán as its new Artistic Director, effective September 2025.
A native of Monterrey, México, Tristán is recognized as a rising voice in classical music, known for blending artistic excellence with a fresh, cross-cultural perspective. He currently serves as Associate Conductor of the San Antonio Philharmonic, Principal Conductor of Ballet de Monterrey, and Conductor at Manhattan School of Music. In 2024, he became the first Mexican conductor to receive the prestigious Muzyczne Orły Award from Poland’s Ministry of Culture.
