Take Notes: NY Philharmonic Eyes Cuba Trip

What a wonderful idea!

Music is definite means of communicating.

Bravo Obama!

Carry on.

YES! The Cubans are going to love the NY Phil! I wish i could be there.

It would be ironic if they travelled there on wooden rafts.

This is a great idea. Music and the arts in general, say much about the societies that produce and support them. They can provide a common ground for building relations personally and nationally.

You mean they get to go, but the government will not allow me to go. Our government, not theirs.

Do not expect a return visit of the Havana Philharmonic to NYC, the Cuban government would never take the chance that the entir string section would ask for asylum.

I am elated that this is happening.

For years, the music of cuba has actually been banned in this country due to political reasons. Much of the sheet music that musicians have sought to buy has been impossible to obtain. And universities have politically cropped mention of the great Cuban/Latin composers from their texts and teaching.

Music should always be universal.......a way to communicate, to learn, without boundaries. Bravo!!

Bring some cuban sandwiches.
