For that reason on Sunday the 20th of January at 7:00 pm at the Paula Church, González Núñez and the Solistas de La Habana Orchestra, under the direction of Iván Valiente, will offer the concert "La flauta y el barroco", a program recently played during the season "Septiembre barroco", organized by the Office of the Historian of the City.

Solistas de La Habana, an orchestra founded in 1998 is created with the purpose of rescuing the multiformat cameral tradition and of premiering never before listened pieces in our country or pieces not very known.
