Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Domingo Hindoyan began his music studies as a violinist and a member of the renowned Venezuelan musical education program El Sistema. Hindoyan obtained a master"s degree in conducting at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève with the highest distinction with Prof. Laurent Gay and thereafter participated in several master classes with Bernard Haitink, David Zinman and Jesus Lopez Cobos. Domingo Hindoyan was a successful laureate at the Cadaqués and Malko conducting competitions, as well as at the Jesus Lopez Cobos Opera conductor competition in Madrid. He has also worked as assistant to Claudio Abbado for concerts with the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra in Lucerne and Caracas. Thanks to his Syrian-Armenian descent, Domingo has also been a standing member of the West Eastern Divan Orchestra as a violinist since 2006.

He has conducted, among others, the London Philharmonic, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, Sinfonieorchester Basel, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Orquesta de Valencia and Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra.

In 2012 Hindoyan was selected by the highly prestigious Allianz International Conductors Academy to work with the London Philharmonic and the Philharmonia Orchestra under the guidance of world-renowned conductors such as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Sir Andrew Davis and John Carewe. Following his participation in the Academy, Hindoyan was invited to conduct the Philharmonia Orchestra in July 2012, which led to an immediate re-invitation.

Hindoyan is also increasingly gaining recognition as an opera conductor. In early 2012, he conducted 10 performances of l"Elisir d"Amore at the Bregenz Landestheater. During the current season 2012/13, Domingo Hindoyan is a regular guest conductor at the Graz Oper, where he conducts a revival of La Traviata and a new production of Hänsel & Gretel, as well as a ballet evening with Stravinky"s "Sacre du printemps" and Ravel"s "Daphnis et Chloé."
