TAKI ALSOP CONDUCTING FELLOWSHIP
Award Recipient 2022/24
BLUE DANUBE/BÉLA BARTÓK OPERA CONDUCTING COMPETITION 2021
Second Award Winner
"The work of the Spanish conductor Julia Cruz served as a beacon to clarify the path through a sound tapestry that at times is overwhelming, complex, and contradictory in the sense of the emotions that the characters experience from one moment to the next. [...] delicate coordination is needed to provide security to the ensemble, which is what the guest conductor achieved."

"Cruz performed with skill, handling the contrasts of tempi adequately, [...] it was a solid interpretation, cared for in detail, and the passionate final chord was received with a standing ovation."
