Beatriz Macias, USA

Hi! My name is Beatriz Macías and I’m a Mexican-American classical musician. I moved to Tampere in the fall of 2016, for a temporary job with the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra. Little did I know, I was about to embark on one of my most unique journeys.

I often speak about music because of the power it has to bring people together of different cultures, races, religions and backgrounds. Like numerous instruments uniting to perform in perfect harmony, we have the ability to make a greater impact, when we come together as a community, merging our distinct talents, experiences, and assets.

Being a part of the Tampere community as a Tampere Talent Ambassador excites me, because I see the great potential the city has. For me, Tampere is a blend of past and future, of tradition and innovation, of local and international. 

Tampere is a city that inspires a diverse and resilient community of creatives to come together for the common purpose of adding value to this dynamic city!

Beatriz is the Founder & Artistic Director of the Tampere Flute Fest.
