Borja Romero González

Born in Tenerife (Spain), Borja is a conductor specialized in music for wind ensembles, making him one of the first Canary Island conductors with specific professional training in this field. His career has developed in various parts of Europe, especially in Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy.

​

He trained in Zaragoza, where he graduated in Orchestral Conducting with Miquel Rodrigo and Borja Quintas, and in Choral Conducting with Elena Ruiz. His special interest in wind band music led him to Maastricht, where he completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Wind Band Conducting under the guidance of Jos Zegers. He is currently pursuing a postgraduate course in Turin with Lorenzo Della Fonte as his mentor.

 

He is currently the main conductor of the Dutch orchestras Harmonie Amicitia Vilt, the Harmonie St. Caecilia Eygelshoven and the Harmonie St. Caecilia in Spekholzerheide in November 2025. Previously, he was main conductor of the Agrupación Musical 'Delicias' in Zaragoza and assistant conductor of the Philharmonie Sittard.

 

His abilities as a conductor have been recognized in different international competitions in Spain, Italy and Poland, such as the Premio Internacional de Dirección 'Bilbao Musika' in 2024 in Bilbao (Spain), the 2nd Prize in the Concorso Internazionale per Direttori d'Orchestra di Fiati 'Frederick Fennell' in Sicily (Italy) or more recently the 2nd Prize in the Concurso Internacional de Dirección Orquestal 'Reveriano Soutullo' in 2025 in Santiago de Compostela (Spain).

​

As a guest conductor, he has conducted prestigious musical ensembles such as the Banda Municipal de Bilbao, and in the 2025/26 season, he will also conduct the Banda Municipal de Santiago de Compostela.

​

In addition to his role as a conductor, he dedicates part of his work to the composition of music for wind orchestras. His works have been premiered, awarded, and recorded by high-level wind bands such as 'La Oliva' from Salteras (Sevilla), 'Maestro Tejera', or 'Las Cigarreras', also from Sevilla.

 

His training as a journalist has also allowed him to approach musicological research, mainly focused on the genre of the processional march.
