# Event Details - **Event Name**: Cuban Classical Music in Exile: A Centennial Celebration - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 09:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Centennial tribute to Aurelio de la Vega & world premiere of The Olympian Gods with Guerra String Orchestra in Pasadena.About this EventGuerra String OrchestraYalil Guerra, ConductorCentennial Tribute to Maestro Aurelio de la VegaWorld Full Premiere of The Olympian GodsPasadena, CaliforniaOn a luminous evening in Pasadena, the Guerra String Orchestra, under the direction of composer-conductor Dr. Yalil Guerra, presents a concert of profound artistic and historical significance. This special program pays tribute to Aurelio de la Vega on the centennial of his birth, honoring one of the most distinguished voices of Cuban and Latin American concert music.A composer of international stature, De la Vega’s work represents intellectual rigor, expressive depth, and a commitment to artistic integrity. His music—rooted in modernist language yet unmistakably shaped by Cuban sensibility—stands as a testament to the enduring vitality of the island’s classical tradition beyond its geographical borders.Cuban Classical Music in ExileThis program centers on the theme of Cuban classical music in exile—a cultural space where memory, identity, and artistic innovation coexist. Creating music outside one’s homeland is not an act of rupture, but of expansion. It allows tradition to travel, evolve, and dialogue with new environments.Far from political discourse, this concert reflects a human experience shared by artists across history: the search for artistic truth wherever life unfolds. Cuban composers in exile have continued to cultivate the island’s rich musical DNA—its lyricism, rhythmic vitality, and expressive intensity—while embracing the broader artistic landscapes of the United States and Europe. The result is a repertoire that is both deeply rooted and universally resonant.World Full PremiereThe Olympian Gods ("Los dioses del Olimpo") – Yalil GuerraThe evening will also feature the world full premiere of The Olympian Gods, a new orchestral work by Dr. Yalil Guerra. Inspired by the grandeur and mythology of ancient Greece, this composition explores archetypal forces—power, beauty, wisdom, conflict, and transcendence—through a vibrant and cinematic string orchestra palette.In dialogue with the tribute to De la Vega, The Olympian Gods symbolizes continuity: the passing of creative fire from mentor to disciple, from one generation of composers to the next. It affirms that the tradition of Cuban classical music not only endures—it flourishes.Set against the cultural backdrop of Pasadena’s artistic community, this concert promises an evening of reflection, celebration, and renewal—where heritage and new creation meet under one stage, and where music transcends geography to speak in its most universal language. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pasadena/cuban-classical-music-in-exile-a-centennial-celebration/100001983195962510 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, concerts, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pasadena - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: St. Andrew Catholic Church - **lat**: 34.1506274 - **long**: -118.1490604 - **full address**: St. Andrew Catholic Church, 311 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cuban Classical Music in Exile: A Centennial Celebration - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/04cc277688f8182b4b7ad5aecec9d9ab966b1666b481fc232b6286993292413a-rimg-w1200-h800-dc161412-gmir.jpg?v=1771414270 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cuban Classical Music in Exile: A Centennial Celebration being held? - **A:** Cuban Classical Music in Exile: A Centennial Celebration takes place on Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 09:30 pm at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 311 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Cuban Classical Music in Exile: A Centennial Celebration? - **A:** Ticket prices for Cuban Classical Music in Exile: A Centennial Celebration range from USD 23 to USD 39 depending on the ticket type.
