Su esplendor colonial puede palparse en La Habana Vieja, una visita totalmente inexcusable. Este barrio, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, es uno de los conjuntos urbanísticos mejor conservados de América y del mundo, dominado por plazas y fortalezas. Lo mejor es comenzar el recorrido en la plaza de Armas. Rodeándola, se encuentran los palacios de los Capitanes Generales (convertido en Museo de la Ciudad) y del Segundo Cabo, el Castillo de la Real Fuerza (actual Museo de Armas), el Templete y el Palacio de los Condes de Santovenia (convertido en hotel). El otro gran conjunto es la plaza de la Catedral, donde, aparte del templo, se encuentra el Palacio de los Marqueses de Aguas y las casas de Lombillo, del Marqués de Arcos y de Chacón.

  • Los Conciertos Y Recitales Se Sucederán Cada Semana De Jueves a Domin- Go, Como Sugestiva Propuesta Para Las Tardes Habaneras
    Los conciertos y recitales se sucederán cada semana de jueves a domin- go, como sugestiva propuesta para las tardes habaneras. Las veinte se- siones serán protagonizadas por 26 intérpretes de altísima calidad, entre consagrados y noveles, todos ellos con la misma motivación por la música, con el mismo deseo de exaltar el arte de lo bello. Una vez más, la Orques- ta Sinfónica Nacional de Cuba acompañará los conciertos para piano que serán interpretados cada jueves y domingo en el Teatro Martí bajo la batuta de su director titular, el maestro Enrique Pérez Mesa, quien compar- tirá el podio con los talentosos y jóvenes directores Daiana García y José Antonio Méndez Padrón. También conducida por Méndez, la Orquesta Sin- fónica de la Universidad de las Artes (ISA), adjunta al Lyceum Mozartiano de La Habana, tendrá reservada una actuación dedicada a repertorios más añejos. Armenia, Belarús, China, Corea del Sur, Egipto, Estados Unidos y Rusia serán los países de donde provengan los diecisiete intérpretes foráneos, todos alumnos de Mikowsky en la Manhattan School of Music de New York, en su mayoría multilaureados internacionalmente y protagonistas de exitosas carreras desde su más temprana juventud. A ellos se suman los nueve re- presentantes cubanos, también de excelente nivel e igualmente acreedo- res de premios, dentro y fuera de nuestras costas. Sus carreras han sido fruto de la vocación magisterial de la escuela de piano cubana en la que destacan profesores como Teresita Junco, Alicia Perea, Frank Fernández, Ulises Hernández, Mercedes Estévez, Hortensia Upmann, María Teresa Pita, Andrés Alén, Miriam Cruz, Rosalía Capote, Dánae Ulacia, Miriam Valdés, An- drea Mesa, Ernán López-Nussa, Liana Fernández, Patricio Malcolm y Aldo López-Gavilán, entre otros.
