Roberto Minczuk is a Brazilian conductor of Belarusian and Polish descent born on April 23, 1967, in São Paulo. The son of a music teacher, Minczuk joined the Municipal Symphony Orchestra as a French horn player at age ten before studying at the Juilliard School. He made his conducting debut in 1984 with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra and later served as the associate conductor for the New York Philharmonic, a position once held by Leonard Bernstein. Minczuk won a Latin Grammy Award in 2004 for the album Jobim Sinfônico. He served as the music director of the Calgary Philharmonic and was a principal figure for the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (OSB). In 2011, his leadership at the OSB was marked by controversy following the dismissal of thirty-five musicians, and he eventually left the ensemble in 2015. He became the music director of the New Mexico Philharmonic in 2017 and received the Brazilian Order of Cultural Merit that same year.
