With great regret I would like to advise you that Maestro Guido Lopez Gavilan has had to cancel his participation in this project due to the sudden and devastating illness of his wife Teresita, which occurred on Thursday evening, February 24.
Musica Eterna is still coming to Alberta and will perform all of the concerts and as many of the planned workshops as possible. They will arrive on Thursday March 3 in Edmonton.
