¡Música, maestra!”: Lucía Zicos in concert tomorrow at the CCK.
“With a program made up of works by contemporary composers, the conductor sought to balance musical genres.
Doctor in music and faculty at the UCA, Zicos, despite her youth, already has a solid national and international career. In England she conducted Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin” and Mozart’s “Le nozze di Figaro” at the head of the Dartington Festival Orchestra. At the Opera in Sofia, Bulgaria, she performed “La Bohème” by Puccini, “Così fan tutte” by Mozart and “Aida” by Verdi.
Locally, she conducted a dozen titles at the San Juan Opera, and in 2010 she performed “Loreley”, by Catalani, at the Avenida Theater, with the well-remembered soprano Adelaida Negri, and at the Teatro Colón she participated in the Cycle of Argentine Interpreters. She performed the musical direction of the album “Ausencias”, winner of a 2014 Latin Grammy, and of the album “Mágica y Misteriosa”, which was Best Classical Music Album at the Latin Grammy 2018, both with music by the Argentine composer Claudia Montero.”
The baton of the Juan de Dios Filiberto National Music Orchestra of Argentina will be in the hands of the outstanding Lucía Zicos.
With Latin American and Argentine folk music – in tribute to Raúl Carnota – the Juan de Dios Filiberto National Music Orchestra of Argentina opens its 2020 season with Lorena Astudillo, Juan Iñaki and Guillermo Cardozo Ocampo.

“Zicos is a skillful director.”
Buenos Aires Piano Sinfónico
“The conductor was the talented Lucía Zicos and the producer was Damian Mahler, who included a short piece directed by himself: Remembranza, with a pleasant melody. I was a little surprised by the choice of Tchaikovsky’s First Concert, because this is a famous “standard” that highlights virtuosity and not depth, but Antonio Formaro was not superficial at all: fulfilling all the mechanical demands, he gave meaning and reflection to what is usually only a vehicle for the exhibition. In this and other ways, Zicos and the orchestra, an efficient ensemble, accompanied very well.”
Between orchestras, brass and opera
Lucía Zicos is an orchestra conductor who comes to Rosario regularly and, during these days of September, she is participating in three activities that include symphonic music, chamber music and youth orchestras. Among them, this Wednesday September 17 at 9 pm at the Teatro La Comedia, she will be the guest conductor of the Municipal Chamber Orchestra who will perform works by Mendelssohn, Puccini, Wolf and Dvorak.

“An 11-year-old girl, the conductor of the Kimberly Flores Choir, the conductor of the Lucía Zicos Orchestra and all the members of the Alaíde Foppa Women’s Youth Symphony Orchestra, made us feel that the struggle of Guatemalan women is also done through voices, strings, wind and percussion, it was exciting: beautiful. They made the public vibrate at the concert in commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.”

Imposing. An opera that bristled the skin. The Juan Victoria Auditorium looked practically crowded and the spectators did not move from their seats in the almost three hours that the show lasted. This time, under the command of Lucía Zicos, who shone, like the voices of Nazareth Aufe and Laura Polverini, who played Romeo and Julieta respectively.

Lucia Zicos. One of the few female orchestral conductors in Argentina.

THE GROWTH OF A NOTABLE CONDUCTOR
Precisely if there was a salient edge on this evening it was the growth of Zicos as performer. She guided with intelligence, with full gestural expressiveness and she obtained responses from the group at formidable moments. Her understanding with all the soloists participating in the programming was total and all the versions had full balance. […] Zicos managed to take expressiveness to the maximum, making the Orchestra completely free and look comfortable throughout the entire work. She has achieved extraordinary acting growth and hopefully we can see her directing more often. She certainly deserves it.
Zicos is a good example of a talented young artist
Although female conductors continue to be vastly outnumbered by their male peers around the world and here, things are changing a bit, and names like Young or Mälkki are respected and admired in Europe. And here, Zicos is a good example of a talented young artist.
