Simón Gangotena is the director of the organization InConcerto, which aims to make classical music more accessible to the public. Recently, he has been in the news for his role in the MúsicaOcupa festival, where intimate five-minute classical music concerts were held at the Jipijapa Metro station in Quito. Gangotena emphasized the importance of transforming public spaces into venues for art and culture, seeking to break down the elitist perceptions often associated with classical music. This year marked the first time the festival featured this unique concept, and the response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive.
