Conrado del Campo

Conductor, instrumentalist, and educator Conrado del Campo played a profound role in Spanish musical life in the first half of the 20th century. He co-founded the Madrid Symphony Orchestra, was a major practitioner of the tone poem in Spain, and taught for many years at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid. Del Campo wrote music in various genres, including chamber music and songs. New research has uncovered the depth of his activities and led to recordings of his music.
