Musicians from Beijing’s historic imperial palace are playing two performances in Havana this week as part of a cultural exchange.
The 10-member Forbidden City Chamber Orchestra will perform Chinese folkloric classics Thursday in the National Fine Arts Museum and Friday in an Old Havana church.
The aim is to introduce Cubans to instruments seldom heard of on the island, such as the bamboo flute and Chinese violin. The visitors will also give lessons to young musicians.
