“Juanjo Mena lit a fire under the orchestra and had it sounding in great shape” (Andrew L. Pincus, Berkshire Eagle)
“The orchestra sounds so great right now, it’s hard to imagine them sounding any other way” (Ken Ross, masslive.com)

A regular guest conductor with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Juanjo Mena’s enthusiasm for returning to Tanglewood with them was shared by audience and critics alike.  He conducted two programmes, which included Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto Nº 1, Falla’s “The Three-Cornered Hat” and Beethoven’s Symphony Nº 6, and you can read the full reviews here:
