Fernanda Lastra - Assistant and Cover Conductor, and Diversity Fellow for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra

Highly visible among the BPO faithful, Fernanda Lastra can be seen throughout western New York conducting Music for Youth concerts, Summer Series concerts, and various community engagement performances. Although truly comfortable within the confines of Kleinhans Music Hall, her tenure there ends with the conclusion of this season. Therefore, before her departure, Peter was anxious to spread her story of travel and triumph since her arrival from her home in Argentina.
