Mata, Eduardo

Mata, Eduardo
▪ 1996

      Mexican conductor (b. Sept. 5, 1942, Mexico City, Mexico—d. Jan. 4, 1995, Cuernavaca, Mexico), as music director (1977-93) of the Dallas (Texas) Symphony Orchestra, elevated the ensemble's performance standard to such a level that it enjoyed both national and international acclaim, and he vigorously lobbied for the construction of the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, which opened in Dallas in 1989. Mata's interpretations of contemporary music and such Latin-American composers as Silvestre Revueltas, Alberto Ginastera, and Heitor Villa-Lobos were the hallmark of his career, though he also conducted and recorded works by other 20th-century composers as well as by Mozart and Schumann. After studying at the Mexican National Conservatory with composers Carlos Chávez and Julián Orbón, Mata received (1964) a Koussevitzky fellowship to continue his studies in the U.S. At the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, Lenox, Mass., he studied conducting under Max Rudolf and Erich Leinsdorf and composition with Gunther Schuller. Mata returned to Mexico to become music director of the Guadalajara Symphony Orchestra, and he held directorial posts at the University of Mexico and the National Symphony of Mexico. After leaving Dallas, Mata became principal guest conductor of the New Zealand Symphony and the artistic director of the Solistas de Mexico. He was killed when the plane that he was piloting crashed.
