The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra announced Jaime Martin as the Orchestra’s sixth music director. He takes the podium in the 2019-20 season as music director and serves as music director designate though the 2018-19 season. He succeeds Jeffrey Kahane, who stepped down as music director in June 2017 after a 20-year tenure and is now conductor laureate.
Currently artistic director and principal conductor of Sweden’s Gävle Symphony Orchestra and chief conductor of Spain’s Orquestra de Cadaqués, Jaime Martin was born in Santander, Spain, in 1965. He has risen quickly to international acclaim as a conductor in recent years, following his prominent career as a flautist.
