Snow Pond Center for the Arts and New England Music Camp are thrilled to announce the appointment of Simón Gollo as Artistic Director of the Summer Music Festival.

Mr. Gollo is currently conductor of the philharmonic orchestra at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, where he is also a tenured professor of violin and orchestra conducting.  He was instrumental in developing the Las Cruces Youth Orchestra and Choirs, following the philosophy of the El Sistema artistic program. He continues to have an active career as both conductor and performer with orchestras and festivals around the world.

In his role as artistic director, Mr. Gollo will work with the various program leaders to further develop the brand and vision of our many summer programs. He will be in residence at Snow Pond for the summer season, and will also act in a consulting role to the year-round performance events and community arts programs.
