Programs
Cuba and US-based programs for students, parents and patrons that expand musical horizons and broaden cultural perspectives.
Student Ambassador Program
Our premier educational experience, the Student Ambassador Program, takes talented musicians from the US and brings them together with their musician peers in Cuba. Students journey to Havana for a week-long immersive musical and cultural exchange led by world-class teaching artists recruited from prestigious music institutions in both countries.
Students under 18 travel with a parent or guardian who follows a parallel itinerary throughout the week.
Transformative experiences
Travel to Havana, Cuba with a select group of your American peers and nationally-recognized CAYO teaching artists. Work side-by-side with Cuban students at one of the island’s acclaimed performing arts schools, such as Escuela Nacional de Música and Conservatorio Amadeo Roldán.
Scholarships are available for students seeking financial assistance.
Students under 18 travel with a parent. Have additional questions? Please inquire at info@cayomusic.org.
