Andrea Botelho

Member Bio Maestra Andréa Huguenin Botelho is a world reference in the field of music, perfectly combining her roles as conductor, composer, pianist and researcher. German-Brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and living in Germany for over 20 years, Botelho's academic career is as impressive as her artistic output, with a master's degree in piano and orchestral conducting from Georgia State University, a postgraduate degree in piano performance from the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, a specialization in opera conducting from the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg and a bachelor's degree in music - piano performance from the University of Rio de Janeiro - Uni-Rio. Botelho's presence on the international stage is undeniable, marked by the magnetism of her interpretations and a prestigious position in the global music community. She is at the forefront of Brazilian music initiatives, conducting workshops and performances that unite cultures and continents. Her off-stage efforts are equally impactful, with her research and advocacy work, fighting for the recognition of female composers and the advancement of women's rights in conducting. ​ Her compositional work is a testimonial to her versatility and musical competence. Notable compositions include the "Cantata Ayabás" for women's choir and orchestra, due to be premiered this year in Berlin, and "Francisca - a Symphonic Dedication", which premiered in August 2023 at the Sala Cecília Meireles in Brazil with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Rio de Janeiro under Botelho's baton.
