Maestro and lyric singer Hugo Osl\u00e9, director of the Mariana de Gonitch Vocal Academy and promoter of the traditional contest, announced that young people aged 17 to 35, whether professional or amateur, may participate, with musical accompaniment.<\/p>\n
The contest will be held at the Centro Balear, located at calle G esquina a 23 in Vedado, starting at 11:00 a.m. Interested participants must register on-site two hours before the event.<\/p>\n
A prestigious jury of cultural figures will award prizes to the winners of the event, dedicated to Vilma Esp\u00edn, who was born on April 7, 1930, in Santiago de Cuba and passed away on June 18, 2007, in Havana at the age of 77.<\/p>\n
Osl\u00e9 noted that, in tribute to one of the leading figures of the Revolution, the ‘Por Siempre Vilma’ Cantata will be held on April 2 at the Institute of Music, and on April 6, a tribute will be held at the headquarters of the Municipal Party Committee in Plaza de la Revoluci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Federation of Cuban Women plans to hold a tribute from a local community or neighborhood in the capital.<\/p>\n
