Venezuelan oboist Sergio Sánchez participates as a special guest in the Mozart Havana Festival 2026; an event organized by the Lyceum Mozartiano in Havana, under the sponsorship of the Office of the City Historian (OHCH) and the Embassy of Austria in Cuba.
Since Saturday, November 7, the Cuban capital has become the epicenter of academic music, bringing together the talent of prominent local and international artists who debut with the musical works of the prodigious Austrian composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791).
Sánchez - a musician with extensive professional experience trained in the ranks of the Venezuelan National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras and Choirs (The System) - fulfils a high-level technical and artistic agenda that reaffirms the fundamental role of culture in bringing together sister peoples, such as Cuba and Venezuela, whose historical relationship is once again intertwined through the universal language of music.
The musician has displayed an agenda of activities in Havana, including: the Inaugural Concert on Sunday, November 8, in which he performed with resounding success as a solo artist with the Lyceum Orchestra, under the baton of teacher Daiana García; Oboe Master Classes, on Monday, November 9, for the pedagogical training of young local talents; and a Chamber Music Concert, the afternoon of Tuesday, November 10, where he made his debut in a musical exchange at the San Felipe Neri Oratory.
Since its founding, the Mozart Havana Festival has established itself as a reference space for the promotion of Mozart's work, also welcoming composers from different periods and styles with an inclusive vision of the national and international repertoire.
