Baroque master Purcell scents Latino air when Cuba’s leading early music ensemble gingers up his America fantasy at the colourful finale featuring fireworks, rumba and fandango. Because Latin American music has always been mixing European baroque with native musical traditions. Having already taken the Viennese Konzerthaus by storm the vivacious guests from Havana finally give their Music festival debut. A rousing final chord – and also a preview of the 2021 Music Festival theme!
