Enrique Bátiz Campbell

After two years at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, he became a student of Adele Marcus at the Juilliard School, where he also studied conducting.

In 1964, he made several national tours as a pianist, and in 1965 was a semifinalist in the Marguerite Long International Piano Competition in Paris.

In 1990, he resumed his directorship of the OSEM, remaining until 2017; Bátiz then stood down as music director, nominally for health reasons related to Parkinson's Disease.

These include La primera Presea Bienal in Art from the State of Mexico Confederation of Professionals, Rome's International Gold Mercury award (the first given to a Latin American artist), and the Jose Marti and Tlatelolco's Eagle medals.

In 1986, Brazil awarded him the Rio Branco medal for making the first digital recording of the nine Bachianas Brasileiras by Heitor Villa-Lobos.
