was a Chilean-American composer of contemporary classical music and musicologist.
Orrego Salas was born in Santiago, Chile. He began his studies in composition in his native country with Pedro Humberto Allende and Domingo Santa Cruz. His music came to the attention of American composer Aaron Copland with whom he subsequently studied at Tanglewood in 1946 along with a group of Latin American composers that also included Roque Cordero, Alberto Ginastera, Julián Orbón and Héctor Tosar. While in the United States (1944–46), he additionally studied composition with Randall Thompson and musicology with Paul Henry Lang on a Guggenheim Fellowship. A second Guggenheim brought him back to the United States in the early 1950s. Throughout that decade, works of his were performed by the Juilliard Quartet, the Louisville Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra.
