SANTA CLARA, Cuba, Mar 4 (ACN) Academic conferences, workshops, theatrical, literary, dance and other cultural events are among the proposals of the 28th edition of the chamber music festival A tempo con Caturla, to be held in the central province of Villa Clara from March 6 to 9, this time dedicated to the maestro Roberto Valera, an outstanding Cuban composer, choral conductor, orchestral director and pedagogue.
Elizabeth Casanova Castillo, president of the Hermanos Saiz Association (AHS) in the province, told the Cuban News Agency that Indira Fajardo, president of the Cuban Institute of Music, quenist Rodrigo Sosa, accompanied by Abdel Gonzalez on percussion, and pianist Alejandro Falcon will participate in the event.
She added that the program has conceived theoretical moments at the Olga Alonso Provincial Center for Artistic Education and the presence of instrumentalists in training in concert spaces, always at three o’clock in the afternoon, in the Caturla Hall of the José Martí Provincial Library.
The activities will be extended to municipalities such as Remedios, Placetas, Sagua la Grande, Caibarién and Ranchuelo, she pointed out.
The opening will take place in the Caturla Hall of the Jose Marti Provincial Library on Wednesday, March 6, with a concert shared by Raptus Ensamble and Trio Trovarroco.
The festival is held in the province of Villa Clara because it is the homeland of composer Alejandro Garcia Caturla, but it has a national character.
Garcia Caturla (Remedios, March 7, 1906 – Havana, November 12, 1940) was a cultivator of Afro-Cuban music in the symphonic genre and his art constitutes a synthesis of nationality and universality, of tradition and actuality.
