Biography
"A show of raw power, an aural force to glue you to your seat.”
Praised for her “rich, heartfelt orchestral sound” (Chicago Sun-Times), “rhythmic vitality” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “raw power” (LA Times), Colombian-American Lina Gonzalez-Granados has distinguished herself nationally and internationally as a singularly-talented young conductor. Her powerful interpretations of the symphonic and operatic repertoire, as well as her dedication to highlighting new and unknown works by Latin-American composers, have earned her international recognition, most recently as the recipient of the 2021 Sphinx Medal of Excellence, the Third Prize and ECHO Special Award (European Concert Hall Organization) of La Maestra Competition, as well as the 2020 and 2021 Solti Foundation US Career Assistance Award.

Since its 2003 premiere at Tanglewood, Ainadamar by composer Osvaldo Golijov and librettist David Henry Hwang has never left the world’s stages — and for good reason. Based on the life and death of the Spanish poet/playwright, Federico García Lorca, Ainadamar is a powerhouse of an opera that offers a heady blend of politically charged history and poetic abstraction. Los Angeles Opera’s production was skillfully directed by Deborah Colker and dynamically conducted by Lina González-Granados. It featured eye-dazzling sets and costumes, a stellar cast of singers, and an ensemble of flamboyant flamenco artists. (Read SFCV's review.) — Jim Farber
