Argentinian conductor, harpsichordist and composer Leonardo García-Alarcón has, in just a few years, become a leading figure in high demand at the world’s greatest musical and lyrical institutions, from the Paris Opera to the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
As a conductor or harpsichordist, he is invited to festivals and concert halls around the world. In November 2018, he conducted Monteverdi’s l’Orfeo in a production by Sasha Waltz at the Berlin Staatsoper and is a regular guest of Les Violons du Roy in Canada, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Gulbenkian Orchestra. He was named Best Conductor in the 2019 Forum Opéra Awards, following his triumphant performance of Les Indes Galantes at the Opéra Bastille.
He divides his time between France, Belgium, his native South America and Switzerland, where he has obtained citizenship. Placing great importance on passing on his knowledge, he has been a professor in Maestro Al Cembalo’s class at the Haute école de musique de Genève since 2002.
In 2020, Leonardo García-Alarcón took over the management of La Cité Bleue, a 300-seat concert hall in Geneva undergoing extensive restoration, which opened its doors in March 2024.

The Cappella Mediterranea ensemble was founded in 2005 by the Swiss-Argentinian conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón, originally to perform Latin Baroque music. Its repertoire has since expanded considerably: with over 70 concerts a year, the ensemble explores the madrigal, polyphonic motets, oratorios and opera. In just a few years, the ensemble has made a name for itself through the rediscovery of unheard works such as Michelangelo Falvetti’s Il Diluvio universale and Nabucco, as well as by presenting new interpretations of works from the repertoire such as Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Bach’s Mass in B minor. In 2019, the ensemble played a key role in the triumph of Rameau’s Les Indes Galantes at the Opéra Bastille. 2026 sees Cappella Mediterranea return to the Paris Opera, with the world premiere of Ercole Amante by composer Antonia Bembo, staged by Netia Jones at the Opéra Bastille, and to the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence with Mozart’s La Flûte enchantée, staged by Clément Cogitore.
Cappella Mediterranea’s discography includes more than 30 albums that have been highly acclaimed by critics. Among the most recent releases are La Suite d’Armide by Philippe d’Orléans (Château de Versailles Spectacles), Atys by Jean-Baptiste Lully (Château de Versailles Spectacles) – which won the Best Recording award at the 2025 International Opera Awards – and Handel / Colonna: Dixit Dominus & Missa concertata with the Chœur de Chambre de Namur (Ricercar). In 2026, the recording of the oratorio La Passione di Gesù, Leonardo García-Alarcón’s first major composition, will be released.
