Salvador Brotons
Salvador Brotons (Barcelona, July 17, 1959) is a Catalan composer, conductor, and flautist. He is the conductor of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in Vancouver, Washington and, since the 2022-2023 season, has also been the principal conductor of the Orquestra Simfònica Sant Cugat.
Salvador Brotons is considered one of the great contemporary Catalan composers, with a repertoire performed worldwide. As a composer, he is extraordinarily prolific, having written more than 170 works, including symphonic, concertante, chamber, choral music, operas, sardanes, and even a children's story. Faithful to his language, always surprising with its expressive strength, he has consistently maintained melody and tonality, without allowing atonality to condition his style. As a conductor, with an internationally recognized career, he is intense and conveys passion to both musicians and audiences. His work as a conductor has also involved programming responsibilities, and in this regard, Brotons has always balanced major works from the international repertoire with compositions by contemporary Catalan musicians.
