About Andrés Soto
Conductor · Orchestrator · Orchestra arranger · Barcelona, Spain
I am Andrés Soto, a conductor, orchestrator and orchestra arranger based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than twenty years of professional experience in music.
My work happens on both sides of the score. On the podium I conduct orchestras in concert; at the desk I write the scores they play. That double perspective is what my clients pay for: transcriptions, orchestrations and arrangements that sound right on the recording and work at the first rehearsal.
Through orchestral transcription, orchestration, arranging, mockups and engraving, I work with composers, songwriters, orchestras, conductors, publishers, festivals and studios all over the world, in English and Spanish.
Orchestras
My arrangements, orchestrations and transcriptions have been performed by more than 50 orchestras in over 20 countries across Europe, the Americas and Asia, and I have also conducted orchestras on stage. A selection:
