Rogel Alpher with conductor Gisele Ben-Dor — Journeys

 

 

Described by renowned critics as “a ferocious talent” and “a tremendous musician,” Uruguay-born orchestra conductor Gisele Ben-Dor has made a name for herself in what is still almost entirely a man’s world. She has led the New York Philharmonic, London Symphony, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Israel Philharmonic and many other world-class orchestras. Ben-Dor has played a crucial role in the recent renaissance of Latin American classical music, which she still performs in concerts, festivals and recordings.
