Conductor and composer
CONDUCTOR AND COMPOSER
About me
Santiago’s music “It provided a powerful high point of tension in our concert and one could tell the audience was engaged in its drama” (Elektra Women’s Choir). His compositions are performed all over the world, and he frequently makes world tours giving concerts and clinics. His pieces have been part of festivals as well as ACDA conferences.
Santiago is famous for making composer-in-residence visits to colleges and universities to share his knowledge and create memorable experiences. His charismatic character and his endearing community spirit are embodied in each of his pieces.
As a full-time composer, he shares a large number of works written in collaboration with the renowned poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. His community spirit has led him to join large choirs to compose in his favorite format, the consortium.
The Mass of Eternal Unity will be my most significant work. Bringing a new movement to the year in the form of a consortium means that we will be united for the rest of the decade; it means that 50 choirs will have the opportunity to be authors of one of the most ambitious works ever written. Kyrie has been a beautiful start; in 2024, we will write Gloria, another grand page for this story together.

Patrons
The experience of being a Patreon is unparalleled. You can have the opportunity to bring something to life that will endure over time and have a positive impact on thousands of lives. How do you think it would make you feel to be part of this?
Santiago has created a network of patrons who contribute to enable many more choirs to participate in consortia. Since 2019, we have called this family of patrons “The Santi’s Angels”. We share beautiful conversations, strategies to develop projects, ideas to bring into the world, and a warm chat group that brings us closer to each other. Thanks to this, today we have works such as “The Last March of Destiny”, “Galaxias”, “Lake of Stars”, “I Will Dream With You”, and “Radiance”. Each patron can choose how much they want to contribute and which project they want to promote.
