Beltrán Gonzalez

Beltrán Gonzalez is an Argentine composer, conductor, and researcher based in Berlin. His work centers on practices of care, engaging with the real through its contradictions, desires, and unstable narratives. Drawing on archival materials, found footage, objects, and bureaucratic texts, he reconfigures fragments of reality to open situations where different temporalities and perspectives coexist and interfere.

He is currently a PhD candidate at the Kunstuniversität Graz, where his research—Distortion, irony, and blurring: Performing alternative histories through compositional transformations of the real—investigates new narrative strategies in archive-based music. Since 2025, he has been Artistic Manager of Ensemble Aventure and co-founder and conductor of Kollektiv Unruhe.

His work has been presented internationally by ensembles including Musikfabrik, Riot Ensemble, Black Page Orchestra, Schallfeld Ensemble, Ensemble Ascolta, Vertixe Sonora, and NAMES, and includes a short opera premiered in 2024 at the Staatstheater Kassel. As a conductor, he has collaborated with Vertixe Sonora, FontanaMix, 2k+ Ensemble, Zafraan Ensemble, and Divertimento Ensemble.

In 2025, he was selected for a portrait CD by Edition Zeitgenössische Musik, and in 2026 he received the Villa Serpentara Fellowship from the Akademie der Künste Berlin. He studied conducting in Argentina and composition in Berlin and Paris.
