Lucas Macías Navarro

2025/2026 marks the beginning of Lucas Macías’ tenure as Chief Conductor of the Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla, marking the start of a new artistic chapter for the Andalusian institution. His first season will include repertoire ranging from Gustav Mahler’s monumental Second and Fifth Symphonies to emblematic works of European symphonism such as Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2 Lobgesang and Debussy’s La Mer.
He will also continue his fruitful relationship with the Oviedo Filarmonía, where he has served as Chief Conductor since 2018, and with the Orquesta Ciudad de Granada, of which he has been Artistic Director since 2020.
Lucas Macías made his conducting debut at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 2014 after an exceptional career as one of the world’s leading oboists, having been soloist with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. He was a founding member of Claudio Abbado’s Orchestra Mozart, under whose mentorship he acquired a profound knowledge and understanding of both chamber and symphonic repertoire.
In previous seasons he has conducted the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Orchestre de Paris —where he served as Assistant Conductor for two years, working closely with Daniel Harding— Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, Staatskapelle Dresden, the Spanish National Orchestra, Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, Orquestra Simfònica del Liceu, and Euskadiko Orkestra, among others. During the 2025/26 season he will return to the Galicia Symphony Orchestra and the Navarra Symphony Orchestra.
