Organized for the Office of the Historian of the City and the Ars Longa Group, the invitation will propitiate a re-encounter, until the next Sunday, with a music that is very difficult to hear in the radio broadcasting stations or television programs of the country and even less in daily concerts.

The opening of the event in the Saint Felipe Neri Oratory, located in Old Havana, declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site, had its greatest attraction in the staging for first time in this country of the sacred chamber opera Saint Ignatius of Loyola, one of the three that are still preserved in America.

The festival celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of Ars Longa and the 250th anniversary of the physical disappearance of the German Georg Friedrich Händel, one of the greatest teachers of the baroque, whose work may be also heard in the Least Basilica of the Saint Francis of Assisi Convent, the Egyptian Colonnade, the Church of Pauline and the Pedroso House.

During the festival there will also be movie projections in the Spanish American Culture Center, while the Museum of the City opened an exhibition with ancient cord instruments, among them a piano forte, an instrument of the end of the 18th century that may be permanently seen in there.
