The 35th edition of the Havana Contemporary Music Festival will be held from 28 October to 4 November, organised by the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (Uneac) with the support of various cultural institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n, renowned musician and president of the event, explained the details of the event. He emphasised its constant commitment to contemporary creation and the dissemination of new works, which is also a way of stimulating the work of performers and composers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For more than three decades we have had the presence of great universal composers, and for this edition we are proud of the presence of Elena Zucchini, an outstanding Italian guitarist. I will have the pleasure of accompanying her in the premiere of two works by Walfrido Dom\u00ednguez, dedicated to our deities Osh\u00fan and Ochosi, at the inauguration of the event next Saturday in the Bas\u00edlica Menor del Convento de San Francisco de As\u00eds.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maestro L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n points out that the festival will also reach the Casa de las Am\u00e9ricas. On the 30th and 31st of October, there will be a concert of electro-acoustic music and a chamber music concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00abWe will also have the presence of Eduardo Kusnir, a renowned Argentinean musician with close ties with Cuba, as one of the first to conduct the orchestra of the National Ballet of Cuba in the 1960s, who will give a masterclass on his music in the Villena Hall of the Uneac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event will be enriched by the participation of groups and personalities from the Cuban and international music scene, such as Ernesto Oliva, Walfrido Dom\u00ednguez and the M\u00fasica Eterna chamber orchestra, conducted by Maestro Guido L\u00f3pez-Gavil\u00e1n himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00abWe organise this festival to promote Cuba’s musical heritage, to promote the nation’s musical creation and to keep abreast of what is being created in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also have a very special event dedicated to young musicians and current musical creation with the latest trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim of the Havana Festival of Contemporary Music is to encourage young musicians to continue the legacy of rescuing the classics and offering innovative nuances that will spread new creations and promote the best of this genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The venues for this 35th edition include the emblematic Villena Hall of the Uneac, where the event’s colloquium will be held, the Bas\u00edlica Menor del Convento de San Francisco de As\u00eds, the Casa de las Am\u00e9ricas and the F\u00e1brica de Arte Cubano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
