Herman

Born in Argentina, I held a position for 15 years in the orchestra of the Teatro Argentina de La Plata (the State Opera of Buenos Aires) in the first violins, and in January 2018 moved to London to pursue a career as conductor.

I was leader in a South American tour playing Cosi Fan Tutte and another playing a Mozart based symphonic program. I also played with the Buenos Aires Philharmonic and Teatro Colon orchestras.

Abroad, I performed in Brazil and was invited for three international tours with the Youth Orchestra Of The Americas, working under the baton of Placido Domingo, Gustavo Dudamel, Benjamin Zander and Carlos Miguel Prieto. In London I collaborated with the Lambeth Orchestra and I Maestri amongst other orchestras.

I played with and arranged strings and woodwinds for mainstream and up and coming artists in Argentina alike. In the UK I collaborated with Gabriel Prokofiev and Matt Johnson (Jamiroquai) amongst other musicians.

Since 2013 I started his conducting studies in the Collegium Music of Buenos Aires under Maestro Mauricio Weintraub, and in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Buenos Aires under Maestro Carlos Vieu.

I also participated in the ballet conducting seminar under Maestro Emmanuel Siffert (Switzerland) and the George Hurst Conducting Course under Maestro Saglimbeni, Denise Ham and John Longstaff,
while also taking private lessons with the major conductors of Argentina, including Pedro Ignacio Calderón (assistant to Leonard Bernstein and winner of the Mitropoulos Prize), Jorge Rotter (chief of conducting in the Salzburg Mozarteum) and Luis Gorelik among others. In England I took private classes with Barry Wordsworth.

In June 2018 made my London debut as a conductor with the London Moonlight Symphony Orchestra, at St John’s Smith Square, Westminster.

In March 2019 I toured as a conductor with the Buswell and Nyberg’s Pop Up Orchestra, made up of various local musicians in Leeds, Edinburgh, Swindon and London and Exeter.

In September 2019, I was invited to become the main conductor of the Salisbury Sinfonia.

I also studied double bass and drums, and composed 8 albums of original songs and music for dance, tv and film.
