MiguelSepúlveda

Miguel Sepúlveda will compete in the final of the Rotterdam International Conducting Competition in June 2025. He previously reached the semifinal of the Malko Competition in April 2024 where he conducted the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

In September 2024 the Dresdner Philharmonie appointed Miguel as their first-ever Runnicles Fellow. In addition to his work in Dresden, this season sees him debut with Münchener Kammerorchester, Deutsche Philharmonie Merck and Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa, alongside returns to Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música and Orquestra Metropolitana.

Miguel won Portugal’s Prémio Jovens Músicos in 2022. The following year, he conducted Puccini's Suor Angelica at Operafest Lisboa and made his debut with Gulbenkian Orchestra - the latter resulting in an immediate reinvitation.

In the United Kingdom Miguel has conducted the BBC Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the Manchester Camerata, in addition to assisting Domingo Hindoyan and Vasily Petrenko at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.

Born in Lisbon in 1998, Miguel studied under Jean Marc Burfin and finished his Masters at the Royal Northern College of Music with Mark Heron and Clark Rundell.
