The Cuban classic 'El Manisero’ was the grand finale of our week in Havana with the Havana Orchestra Academy and our guest professors from the Berliner Philharmoniker : Simone Bernadini, Alvaro Parra, Tobias Reifland , Knut Weber and Esko Laine. 🎻

We will cherish the memories of this week forever and are extremely grateful to all who made this week of learning, playing, inspiring and interacting possible, especially during these difficult times in Cuba. Music bring hope! en.cuba

Con el clásico cubano “El Manisero“, la dimos cierre por todo lo alto a nuestra semana en La Habana, junto a los profesores invitados de la Berlin Philharmonic.

Guardaremos estos recuerdos por siempre y estamos inmensamente agradecidos con todos los que hicieron posible esta semana de aprendizaje, música, inspiración y conexión, especialmente en estos tiempos tan desafiantes en Cuba.
La música triunfa, une y nos llena de esperanza. 🎶✨

Cuban Christmas – The SarahBanda (Deutsche Grammophon, 2025)

¿Qué sucede cuando el c***o francés de la Filarmónica de Berlín se encuentra con los ritmos calientes de La Habana, y a esa mezcla le añadimos villancicos clásicos, Tchaikovsky y Bach? El resultado es Cuban Christmas, un álbum que promete poner a bailar hasta al más serio melómano junto al árbol de Navidad. Sarah Willis

Mozart y Mambo in Prague!
LOVED this concert at the Dvorakova Festival with my beloved Orquesta del Lyceum de La Habana and Pepe Méndez. As you can see in these gorgeous photos, the location was amazing and we were joined for the encore by 75 horn players of all ages from all over the country oganised by the fabulous Jana Svadlenkova. An unforgettable concert! ❤️📯
