BIO
Natalia Salinas é atualmente uma referência da nova geração de maestros de orquestra na Argentina. Ela lidera uma carreira ativa e em constante expansão, construindo uma sólida reputação em diferentes continentes.
Ela regeu algumas das principais orquestras da Argentina, Brasil, México, Uruguai e Chile. Demonstra também grande afinidade pelo repertório lírico desde o início de sua carreira, razão pela qual sua atividade profissional também inclui compromissos com as principais casas de ópera da Argentina: Teatro Colón e Teatro Argentino de La Plata – casa de ópera onde trabalhou como regente assistente durante 2015 e 2017, e onde estreou em ópera em 2016 com Così fan tutte, de W. A. Mozart, regendo solistas nacionais e internacionais.
Natalia Salinas destaca-se pela “grande vitalidade e presença marcante no pódio, alcançando performances de alta qualidade”. (Salatino, 2019)
Desde 2019 reside em França e começa a expandir a sua atividade pela Europa, tendo recebido convites para participar como maestrina convidada em festivais e teatros em França, Alemanha, Suíça, Áustria e Itália abrangendo repertório sinfónico e operístico e primeiras incursões no ballet.
Em 2023, Natalia Salinas recebeu o prêmio de Regente Consagrada de Orquestra, concedido pelo Prêmio Nacional de Música Clássica da Argentina. Em 2021, Natalia Salinas foi reconhecida pela Associação de Críticos de Música da Argentina pelo Prêmio de Artista Revelação como Regente de Orquestra e indicada ao Prêmio de Estreia Argentina de Obras de Compositores Estrangeiros. No mesmo ano, foi selecionada como finalista no Concurso Internacional de Regência Lanyi 2021.
Em 2022, Natalia Salinas foi a responsável pela direção musical do oratório maior TURBAE ad Passionem Gregorianam op.43 de Alberto Ginastera, com mais de 200 pessoas no palco, após ter sido apresentado pela única vez na Argentina em 1980 na presença do compositor. Natalia Salinas, para este concerto considerado pela imprensa como "histórico", contou com o apoio da Editorial Boosey & Hawkes, da Fundação Paul Sacher (Suíça) e da filha do compositor, Georgina Ginastera. Este evento teve grande repercussão na imprensa nacional e latino-americana, por ser uma novidade, não só por ser uma obra muito raramente executada em todo o mundo, mas pela qualidade da obra resultante, com uma peça que mostra desde o primeiro momento um alto nível de complexidade para a orquestra, os coros, os solistas e, ao mesmo tempo, para o maestro. Durante a temporada de 2023, Natalia Salinas foi convidada pelo Teatro Colón da Argentina, por um lado, como regente assistente de seu atual diretor musical, por outro, como regente convidada para reger produções de ópera de câmara, e durante o mês de outubro fez sua estreia à frente da Orquestra Filarmónica de Buenos Aires.
Em 2023, além de compromissos com orquestras na Argentina e no Chile, ela estreou no México com a Orquestra do Estado do México e em outubro regeu ópera na Itália pela primeira vez no Teatro delle Muse em Ancona.
Em 2022, estreou na Suíça no Teatro St. Gallen, na temporada 2021/22, com a ópera María de Buenos Aires, de Astor Piazzolla, com quem também teve compromissos na temporada 2022/23, em um projeto de balé. Em 2022, estreou também com orquestras no Uruguai e no Brasil.
Em 2021, ela fez sua estreia operística na Europa, na Áustria, no Taschenopernfestival (Festival de Ópera de Bolso) Salzburgo 2021, responsável pela estreia mundial da ópera "Der Kuss" de Wolfgang Mitterer, depois na Alemanha, no mesmo ano, estreou à frente da Orquestra Filarmônica de Magdeburg e trabalhou pela primeira vez à frente do Muskifabrik Ensemble.
Atualmente, cursa doutorado franco-alemão em Regência Orquestral na Universidade de Estrasburgo, na Haute École des Arts du Rhin (HEAR) e na Hochschule für Musik Freiburg, dedicado à obra do compositor argentino Alberto Ginastera. Concluiu mestrado em regência com especialização em música dos séculos XX e XXI na Universidade de Estrasburgo e na HEAR, na França. Em 2020, recebeu da Universidade Nacional do México uma bolsa integral para o primeiro Diploma em Compositores Latino-Americanos.
Também é licenciada em Direção de Orquestra pela Universidade Nacional de La Plata e formada como pianista no Conservatório Provincial de Música de Santa Cruz, na Argentina.

Natália Salinas
[regente]
A garantia disso é, sem dúvida, a forte presença artística argentina. Com Natalia Salinas [...], pela segunda vez na atual temporada de ópera de St. Gallen, há uma jovem poderosa no pódio da Orquestra Sinfônica de St. Gallen que, como argentina, sabe tocar o tango de uma forma emocionante, precisa, transparente e, ainda assim, misteriosamente sutil.

CRÍTICAS
A. Piazzolla, Opera Maria de Buenos Aires.Konzert und Theater St. Gallen
"The guarantee of that is undoubtedly the strong Argentine artistic presence. With Natalia Salinas [...] , for the second time in the current opera season of St. Gallen, there is a powerful young woman on the podium of the St. Gallen Symphony Orchestra who, as an Argentine, knows how to play the tango in an exciting, precise, transparent, and yet mysteriously subtle way."
Martin Preisser, Tagblatt 2022
A. Ginastera, Turbae. Argentine National Symphony OrchestraCentro Cultural Kirchner
"Natalia Salinas delivered an outstanding performance, surpassing even her triumphant presentation at the memorable opening of the Contemporary Music Concert Series at the Complex Teatral de Buenos Aires in 2019. She worked down to the smallest detail, achieved precision in her interventions, guided with absolute accuracy, and excelled in the impressive finale. We are in the presence of one of the most important conductors that our country has produced in recent times, she has risen to every challenge and demonstrated that she is destined for great things."
Donato Decina, deparaisoparaud 2022
Schubert's Fourth Symphony
"Natalia Salinas, a maestra with a growing international career but also a frequent visitor to her home country, was called to the podium. She conducted with precision and skill a program featuring central composers in the repertoire, yet not at all clichéd. (…) It is not an easy symphony to tackle due to its ensemble and interpretive challenges; however, without reaching the lightness of touch that period instruments allow, Salinas and the philharmonic orchestra achieved a convincing interpretation."
Daniel Varacalli, sobrevivientenlaciudad 2023
K. Weill, Der Jasager, Teatro Colón
"Natalia Salinas' direction plays an essential role in strengthening Weill's musical qualities in Der Jasager. The composition presents conventional characteristics but with a marked vitality."
Vigina Chacon, El Clarín 2023
M. Constant, La Tragedie de Carmen, Ancona, Italy
"Natalia Salinas does a great job of conducting and offers a clear and crisp interpretation of the opera, maximizing the blending of Bizet's melodies, which, even though heard countless times, are almost rediscovered due to the chamber-like structure of the orchestra (a reduced Rossini Symphony with just fifteen musicians but truly graceful on this evening). For instance, the 'Chanson bohème' is intense in its expression but without breathless haste, and the Entr'acte from the third act of Carmen, which I hesitate to describe as anything less than sublime."
Domenico Ciccone, Operaclick 2023
«The Raven » by Toshio Hosokawa - Teatro Colón
"The exquisite direction of Natalia Salinas, the exact balance between layers, the irrepressible dramatic waves, a brilliant performance of the instrumental ensemble."
Diego Fischerman - Diario Pagina12 August 2017
Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional Argentina - Centro Cultural Kirchner
"Conductor Natalia Salinas assumed with solvency and wide knowledge the coordination, leading to a superlative result the performance of the orchestra, who devoted themselves with discipline and concentration to this complex programme with a result of excellence."
Andrés Berretta - De paraiso para Ud. April 2024
Orquesta Filarmónica de Buenos Aires - Usina del Arte
"For the podium, maestro Natalia Salinas, with a growing international career but also a frequent visitor to her country, was called upon to conduct with neatness and dexterity a programme of composers central to the repertoire, but not at all trite. (...) Salinas and the philharmonics gave a convincing reading."
Daniel Varacalli Costas - Sovreviviente en la Ciudad October 2023
Orquesta Estable del Teatro Argentino de La Plata - Teatro Argentino
"The conducting was entrusted to one of the most important female conductors of recent times: Natalia Salinas. (...) The concert began with the world premiere of the Suite "Parkour" by Tomás Bordalejo (...) Once again, Natalia Salinas once again demonstrated her real ability in conducting contemporary repertoire, leading an ensemble that respected even the slightest markings of the remarkable conductor. (...) Natalia Salinas and the Estable tackled one of the virtuoso jewels of the Post-Romantic period, Jean Sibelius' Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 47. An opportunity to appreciate the Maestra's worth in this repertoire."
Donato Decina - De paraiso para Usted November 2023
Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional Argentina - Centro Cultural Kirchner
"About conductor Natalia Salinas, it must be said that she made a very good impression due to the confidence and clarity with which she translated three complex and difficult works. As a result of a careful preparation, her handling of levels was irreproachable, as well as her conceptual precision, without prejudice of some too vigorous volumes, stripped of recondite interrogations in the execution of "Orion"."
Carlos Ernesto Ure – Diario La Prensa December 2019
« Maria de Buenos Aires » by Astor Piazzolla / Horacio Ferrer.OPER KÖLN
"Natalia Salinas, an internationally profiled conductor with Argentine roots, leads the musical side with great sensitivity to Piazzolla’s sonic depths. Her conducting is marked by rhythmic precision and emotional density. Salinas manages to make the ‘Tango Nuevo’ felt not just as a style, but as a state of soul — at times pulsating, desperate, then again tender and almost sacred."
Sebastian Jacobs - Der Opernfreund May / June 2025
« Maria de Buenos Aires » by Astor Piazzolla / Horacio Ferrer.OPER KÖLN
"In Cologne, under the direction of the young Argentine conductor Natalia Salinas, a small ensemble (...) replaces the sound of a large symphonic orchestra with chamber-like clarity, transparency, and remarkable delicacy. Salinas conducts with precision and restraint, avoiding any trace of pathos or sentimentality. (...) The strength of the production lies in its musical interpretation: beautiful, exquisitely played, and emotionally balanced. Piazzolla’s score is brought to life with nuance, depth, and a refined sense of style."
Stefan Schmöe – Online Musik Magazin May / June 2025

“Natalia Salinas does a great job with the conducting and offers a limpid and clear reading of the opera, bringing out to the maximum the sound mixtures of Byzantine melodies that, although heard countless times, are almost rediscovered for the chamber structure of the orchestra.”

Under her direction, the Erató Ensemble Musical of the Instituto Superior del Teatro Colón took the musical experience to a sublime level, providing an unforgettable musical quality that perfectly complemented the narrative. Natália Salinas' ability to lead and inspire the musicians was evident in every note, enriching the opera's atmosphere and contributing to the magic that enveloped the audience."
