The conductor will take over the position on Sept. 1, 2025, succeeding Xavier Puig, who has been the Music Director since 2018.

With this appointment, the OSV begins a new era under Salado’s direction. He will combine this responsibility with conducting the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica.
