This article proposes a discussion on the educational background and career trajectory of the orchestra conductor Aurélio Melo and its unfolding in actions of cultural mediation in the Northeast region of Brazil. Reflections on cultural mediation in accord with Gomes and Hansen (2016), and conceptions of Bourdieu (1989, 2004, 2006) concerning social, cultural, and symbolic capital are mobilized. The documentary sources were searched in the collection of the Federal University of Piauí's Choir and articulated with the (auto)biographical narrative of the individual focused in the research. Initially, the musical development and the career trajectory of the artist are approached. After that, the paper presents three projects led by the conductor that occurred between years of 1993 and 2012, in which it was possible to perceive some characteristics of his mediation, such as the formation of an auditorium by means of a repertoire mixing scholarly and popular music.

Keywords : cultural mediation; music; (auto) biographical narrative.
