Siddha Yoga music conductor Carlos del Cueto will lead a Chanting Tour in Australia.

Carlos, originally from Mexico, has had a lively international career in music. He has been an assistant conductor at the English Touring Opera and a winner of the BBC Performing Arts Fund Music Fellowship.

In addition to orchestral and operatic repertoire, Carlos has also studied Indian classical music. He has been a conductor and music teacher for Siddha Yoga teaching and learning events under the auspices of the SYDA Foundation, including Shaktipat Intensives and A Sweet Surprise satsang. Whenever Carlos conducts, you see smiles on the faces of the vocalists and musicians. His good-natured, upbeat style infuses the very air with enthusiasm for chanting.
