Cubanisms at the Jazz Plaza International Festival, Havana, Cuba
January 14, 2019 - January 20, 2019
Our band, with the official support of UNESCO, has been invited to perform at the 34th annual Jazz Plaza International Festival in Havana, Cuba from the 14th to the 20th of January 2019. The official fiscal sponsor for the Kansas City UNESCO Creative City of Music initiative, Arts Tech [501(c)(3)], will be receiving on our behalf your contribution to support our participation. (Arts Tech, located at 1522 Holmes St, Kansas City, MO, 64108, please specify on the memo of the check “Cubanisms”.)
We feel that our city’s stellar global musical reputation will be further enhanced by our participation in the Havana Festival, with this musical exchange that can promote musical quality and cultural understanding in Kansas City and in Cuba. We hope that it would also open the doors for further exchange between Kansas City and the island.
If you wish to be an active participant in the growing relationship between Cuba and Kansas City, making a donation to this project today is a beautiful way to do it. You will be helping get the band to and from Havana, pay for room and meals, and local transportation. A small portion will also be used to study Cuban music with local masters and performers. Cubanisms goal is to raise $13,000.
We have several support options and corresponding benefits on the next link:
