Marcela Zorro

I believe in the transformative power of music. In the recordings I produce I strive to preserve the energy of live performances while encouraging musical precision in order to provide listeners with expressive solo, chamber, symphonic or vocal works of the utmost beauty and depth.

about me

I specialize in the recording and production of classical music. I have recorded symphonic works with the Colombian National Symphony Orchestra, the Bogota Philharmonic Orchestra, the Colombian Ministry of Culture, the Cartagena International Music Festival, Fundación Batuta, the Filarmónica Joven de Colombia, and the Sydney North Chamber Orchestra, among others. I have worked with ensembles such as Del Sol String Quartet, Cuarteto Q-Arte, Dúo Villa Lobos, La Sociedad, Ensamble Alfabeto, Cuarteto Manolov, Ars Humana and Ensamble EEVA. Additionally, I have worked as recording and mixing engineer for the soundtracks for a variety of Colombian films.

I have been actively involved with the Audio Engineering Society, being part of its board of governors between 2023 and 2024, helping develop and run its Latin American chapter and helping organize different regional conferences. In 2012, I was awarded the AES Board of Governors Award for my work helping organize the 4th AES Latin American Conference in 2010.

I have participated in different courses, seminars and workshops, and have worked and directed recording sessions in different studios such as The Banff Centre (Banff, Canada), Galaxy Studios (Mol, Belgium) and Skywalker Sound (California, United States). I graduated from McGill University with a M.Mus. in sound recording and from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá with a B.M. in sound engineering.

I currently work as a full-time professor at Universidad de los Andes' audio production program in Bogota (Colombia) and work as a freelance engineer and producer with NAKU Records, a partnership with my colleague and friend Jefferson Rosas.
