Cuban pianist and Grammy winner Chucho Valdes (right), Chinese pianist Lang Lang (left) and American conductor and violinist Marin Alsop pose for a selfie after a concert at the Cathedral Square in Havana, Cuba, on Oct 9. The concert was dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the Cuban capital. Lang and Valdes played pieces by Cuban master Ernesto Lecuona (1895-1963) and other composers from Russia, the UK and the US. The US company Steinway & Sons donated a grand piano valued at over $148,000, which was given to the Cuban Institute of Music after the concert. “It will be a historic concert as two piano greats performing on the same stage is not an everyday event,” said Enrique Perez Mesathe, director of Cuba’s National Symphony Orchestra, before the concert.
