Cuban National Orchestra Cancels 2019 US Tour Due to Visa Difficulties

The National Symphony of Cuba has cancelled their upcoming 2019 United States tour - due to difficulties obtaining US visas

It has been announced today that the National Symphony of Cuba has cancelled their upcoming United States tour - due to increased difficulties for Cuban performers to obtain US visas.

The orchestra was set to perform in a number of US cities in February 2019, including Chicago - with vocalist and bassist Esperanza Spalding.

Last month, the United States government announced it has withdrawn 60% of foreign diplomats from Cuba due to mysterious health attacks.

The US Embassy in Havana has this week indicated they has temporarily halted the processing of all US visas.
