Along with recognized Cuban groups, the organizing committee points out the international participation and the celebrations to such notable directors such as Alina Orraca, Beatriz Corona, Carmen Collado, Corina Campos and Leonor Suarez.

Meeting with students and professors, and theoretical sessions and practical workshops that will be part of the program, will be carried out at the Esteban Salas Conservatory, where the musical talent of the city is trained along with the Jose Maria Heredia Vocational Art School.

The popular choral performances, a tradition of the event that will fill with harmonies several spaces of the city will also take place during those days. The event will close in front of the Municipal City Council and the central Céspedes Park.
