According to Prensa Latina news agency, the renowned composer will be accompanied by a group of artists from the Boston-based Berklee College of Music —the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world—, of which he is a professor.

On this occasion, Leonard will bring his latest production, Marcel’s Window (2011), which features guests such as bass player Orlando ‘Cachaito’ Lopez, a member of the Buena Vista Social Club.

Some of his most popular songs include Invisible Cities, Resounding Arc, Alex in the Atrium, and Marcel’s Window.

Over recent years, Leonard has encouraged and promoted cultural exchange
between graduates from the Berklee College of Music and their colleagues in Cuba.

Leonard’s most recent visit to Cuba was last May, when he came ahead of a
delegation to participate in the annual Cubadisco International Music Festival. On that occasion, he offered concerts and workshops in cooperation with Cuban cultural institutions.
