As a student selected by the conducting faculty of the Blair School of Music to continue the concentration in conducting to completion, Carlos was awarded the prestigious opportunity to the Vanderbilt University Orchestra in the final concert of the Fall 2021 semester. Composed in large part of the students pursuing a major in music performance, this ensemble serves as the flagship orchestra of Blair under the primary direction of Robin Fountain. Carlos will be conducting the overture to Carl Maria von Weber’s opera Der Freischütz, and the concert will also include William Henry Fry’s A Day in the Country and Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite.

Due to Vanderbilt’s ongoing precautions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Blair School of Music performances are only open to Vanderbilt associated students and staff. All concerts, however, are live streamed for the public and a link to that webpage can be found here. On the day of the concert, the feed will be available under “Ingram Hall.”
