Bid on a Signed Photo of Sting to Help Send a Piano to Cuba...
Cubanos en UK are auctioning this vintage signed photo of Sting to help raise funds to send a piano from London to the Amadeo Roldan music school in Havana, Cuba.
The project Send a piano to Cuba was initiated by Cuban pianist Eralys Fernandez with support from Cubanos en UK, to send a piano as a donation from London to the Amadeo Roldan music school in Havana. Despite being one of the most prestigious institutions in Cuba, its existing pianos are in a poor condition. The Conservatory has struggled to get access to new pianos and there are no piano producers or retailers on the island.
Cuba is famous for its rich history in the arts and culture; providing free education to the highest of standards for all its citizens. The Conservatory Amadeo Roldán is free for all its students. However, despite the Cuban government’s investments in education, they lack many of the resources, equipment or infrastructure needed to support that provision. In the case of music schools such as the Amadeo Roldan, instruments and related accessories are often scarce. What they have is often worn down.
