PROJECT PARTNERS OF THE CUBAN-EUROPEAN YOUTH ACADEMY

The Cuban-European Youth Academy is an innovative exchange and training programme for young musicians from Cuba and Europe. It receives no institutional funding; all projects are financed by project partners and foundations. The Federal Foreign Office has been a valuable partner of the CuE since 2014. Cooperation with partner institutions in Cuba has been built up step by step since the CuE was founded: The most important local partner institutions include the Lyceum Mozartiano de la Habana and the Instituto Superior de Arte.

We are particularly pleased about the generous support of the colla-parte Foundation and the Hanns Seidel Foundation for the continuation of regular courses in Cuba. With a travel grant from the Goethe Institute, a tour through Germany with the Havana Lyceum Orchestra could take place most recently in summer 2021.

Should you also love music and want to support young people in their education, we cordially invite you to contact us.
