Mozart y Mambo

This unique project combines horn concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with traditional Cuban music. Inspired by the Mozart statue in the heart of Havana and by the vibrancy of Cuban musical life, horn player Sarah Willis developed, rehearsed and recorded the programme with the Havana Lyceum Orchestra under the direction of José Antonio Mendéz Padrón. The first part of the recording was already released in 2020, and the second part was released at the beginning of September 2022, which will now be flanked by several concerts in Germany.
