Los Angeles, CA, February 19, 2025 — A remarkable Cuban symphonic work is poised to make its European debut, offering audiences an extraordinary musical experience. The Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra is set to premiere Yalil Guerra’s Symphony No. 1, “La Palma Real,” on March 6 at the picturesque concert hall of the Karlovy Vary Imperial Spa.
This performance will be conducted by maestro Simon Serpa, who is known for his dynamic interpretations and ability to connect with both the orchestra and the audience.
