A few days ago I had the pleasure to hear conductor Fernanda Lastra speaking on a panel at the SphinxConnect 2023 Impact conference. I was impressed and wanted to learn more about her artistry. Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, her repertory spans symphonic, contemporary, and operatic works. She currently holds a position with the Buffalo Philharmonic. You can read more about Fernanda Lastra using the link below to her biography. And Today’s Beautiful Music features Maestra Lastra leading the University of Iowa Chamber Orchestra playing Richard Wagner’s SIEGFRIED IDYLL. from an October 2018 performance.
