Journalist and physician Nelson Castro has participated in several musical conducting engagements in Argentina.

In October 2026, Castro conducted the Orquesta Sinfónica del Neuquén in a sold-out concert at the Cine Teatro Español. Performing alongside maestro Andrés Tolcachir, the repertoire included works by Rossini, Ravel, Sibelius, and Gershwin. Castro noted that while his journalism career involves covering wars and global events, music provides a connection to beauty.

Later in October 2026, Castro conducted a formation of over 700 musicians during the VII Encuentro Nacional de Bandas at the Monumento Nacional a la Bandera in Rosario. This event featured 17 musical groups from various provinces, including professional and youth bands, and followed his previous conducting debut in September 2025.
