Our vision
Débora Waldman, Architect and Creator of Connections
« To give classical music a new breath, so that it may become dialogue and resonance between people—this is the mission I have set for myself. »
Débora Waldman’s artistic journey is guided by a profound commitment to excellence and a strong desire to reimagine the concert experience. Born in Brazil, she grew up in Israel and Argentina before settling in Paris to further her studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (CNSMDP). It was there that she became assistant to Kurt Masur at Orchestre National de France between 2006 and 2009.
Recognized for her talent—named ADAMI Conductor Talent in 2008 and awarded a distinction by the Simone and Cino Del Duca Foundation in 2011—she now conducts numerous orchestras in France and internationally.
In order to exercise her artistic freedom fully, from the conception of projects to the choice of performers, she founded and continues to develop the Orchestre Idomeneo. Her approach as an interpreter is that of an “architect and archeologist,” seeking out the meaning of musical motifs in order to construct an innovative artistic discourse, while remaining faithful to the score. This deep understanding of the evolution of musical language is, in her view, the key to a truly successful interpretation.
