Aldo with Central Texas Philharmonic

Feel the heat, the rhythm, and the romance of the Caribbean in Havana Nights—a vibrant, genre-defying celebration of music, culture, and color. The Central Texas Philharmonic brings the spirit of Cuba to the concert hall in an electrifying evening of sound and style.

From sultry melodies to high-energy dance rhythms, Havana Nights blends the pulse of Afro-Cuban jazz with the elegance of classical music in a program that is as bold and passionate as the island itself. At the heart of the evening is acclaimed Cuban pianist and composer Aldo López-Gavilán, whose dynamic performance bridges musical worlds with dazzling virtuosity and heartfelt expression.

This unforgettable night of rhythm, flair, and flavor invites you to escape to a place where tradition meets innovation—and where every note sizzles with life.
