(Graphic courtesy EGREM)
On February 28, 2014, a press conference to announce the activities to be held to mark EGREM's 50th Anniversary was held at the Ranchón del Músico de la EGREM at Calle 3 between 10 and 12 in Miramar. Several representatives of the EGREM, the music industry and the Ministry of Culture were present for the occasion. These activities will include a special concert on March 2, 2014 at 5PM at the Teatro Karl Marx dedicated to the first half century of EGREM and will feature a cast of over 100 children with musicians including Adalberto Álvarez, Luna Manzanares, Yoruba Andabo, Qva Libre and others. Later in March, the International Symposium of Musicology will feature other special events.
You may find some items from the Cuban press (in Spanish) about the press conference, including some thoughts by EGREM's Director, Mario Escalona Serrano, here.
