Jose Luis Gutiérrez live in Freiberg

Experience Jose Luis Gutiérrez live on February 23rd

Jose Luis Gutiérrez, a prominent figure in the revival of Cuban Son music, will perform at the Mittelsächsisches Theater in Freiberg, Germany on February 23, 2027. Gutiérrez is known for his dedication to preserving the traditional sounds of Son Cubano, often incorporating elements of Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz influences into his compositions. He frequently utilizes the *tres*, a Cuban guitar, as a central instrument and is recognized for his vocal style rooted in the *guaracherismo* tradition – a playful and improvisational approach to Cuban song.

The Mittelsächsisches Theater, located in Freiberg, Saxony, has a rich history dating back to its initial construction in 1869. Originally built as a municipal theatre, it underwent significant renovations following damage during World War II and reopened in 1950. Today, it functions as a multi-disciplinary venue hosting opera, operetta, musicals, plays, concerts and ballet performances. The theater building itself is considered an important example of late 19th-century theatre architecture within the region. It serves as a key cultural institution for the city of Freiberg and surrounding areas.
