For conductor Alondra de la Parra, Latin American music is not a single sound, but a meeting of distinct musical worlds. On Horizons, recorded live with The Impossible Orchestra, she brings together the contrasting voices of composers Paquito D’Rivera, Omar Massa, Yamandu Costa, and Sérgio Assad in a programme shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and spontaneity. In this conversation, de la Parra reflects on her Mexican roots, the creative encounters behind the album, and her ongoing commitment to bringing the extraordinary diversity of Latin American music to audiences around the world.
