According to the website of the Cuban Foreign Ministry (www.cubaminrex.cu), the ceremony was sponsored by the Music Conservatorium in Luxemburg with the support of Brazilian maestro Odair Assadm.

Guitar professor in the Conservatorium Hany Heshmat highlighted Leo Brower’s value and talent as composer, guitar player, and orchestra director, which is shown in his broad musical works that also include soundtracks for the cinema industry.

The Cuban counselor to Belgium and Luxemburg, Jorge Hadad, said that this
homage was a gift for the public.

Assadam performed the piece “Sonata del caminante”, which Brower dedicated
to him.

At the end of the concert, those present thanked assistant director Alain Wirth and reaffirmed their respect and admiration for the Cuban musician and his work.
