The tour will include 4-5 formal concerts in unique venues, cultural and musical exchanges, and sight-seeing activities, offering students the opportunity to interact with two vibrant Latin American cultures. In Cuba, we will spend five days in Havana, experiencing a uniquely preserved world at a historical moment of developing international relations.
