About
Known for his charisma and expressive interpretations, Mexican conductor and Grammy-winner Carlos Miguel Prieto has established himself not just as a major figure in the orchestra world but also as an influential cultural leader, an educator, and a champion of new music. In a significant career development, he started his tenure as Music Director of the North Carolina Symphony at the beginning of the 2023– 2024 season.
“The ASO under Mr. Prieto made this movement a triumph, and a storm of applause and approving shouts burst out even before the final chord had ended. In toto, this was one of the best Schumann 'Seconds' your reviewer has heard, and ASO management would not be amiss in inviting Mr. Prieto back as guest conductor sometime soon.”

Prieto’s noble interpretation and the commitment and enthusiasm of the players, who clearly love working with him, resulted in a performance of such blazing conviction that it was impossible not to be moved by it.
[Prieto] seized victory from the jaws of defeat by taking an initially unpromising concert and shifting it into a delight.
