José Antonio MontañoJosé Antonio Montaño, versatilidad y compromiso. Por Lucía Martín-Maestro Verbo.
José Antonio Montaño, conductor and founder of “La Madrileña”, has been on the podium of the best orchestras, theaters and festivals both in our country and in Europe for the last twenty years. His repertoire covers practically the whole history of music: from Early music to contemporary music. His work on Early Music has mainly been carried by conducting the period instrument orchestra “La Madrileña”. His contributions to contemporary music development include conducting World Premieres, such as one that will be represented in a near future with the Milan Symphony Orchestra: a composition by José María Sánchez Verdú.
Opera is another of his great passions, and he aims to conduct scenic projects of the Spanish Baroque period at the Teatro de la Zarzuela. Ten years working at the Teatro Real in Madrid endorse him as conductor in the pit. He has also conducted numerous productions of the National Ballet of Spain.
Montaño is an all-rouder musician, with enormous versatility, who also finds time for composing. He has just debuted with La Madrileña at the National Music Auditorium, and soon his new album, with an unpublished Spanish repertoire, will be available to be listened.
