And the first American to conduct in Cuba is…
mainMarin Alsop.
She is due to lead the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba in October.
The concert was set up by CAMI Music as a Lang Lang promo, with a local duet pianist and a US conductor.
The Minnesota Orchestra broke the musical ice with a Cuba trip in May, conducted by Osmo Vanska. Marin will be the first US conductor to raise a baton on the island since the Obama thaw.
