The Santa Rosa Symphony (SRS) and the Green Music Center present a free concert for the community, featuring the three-time Grammy-nominated Cuban music group Tiempo Libre and SRS under the baton of Principal Pops Conductor Michael Berkowitz.
Classically trained at one of Cuba’s premier conservatories, the members of Tiempo Libre started playing together during a time in Cuba when listening to American music was forbidden, but they crowded around a homemade radio and listened to the beats of Michael Jackson and Earth, Wind and Fire. Upon emigrating to the U.S. they formed Tiempo Libre, blending together the sounds of Cuban timba, classical melodies and Latin rhythms.
