To mark Mozart’s 250th birthday in 2007 a marble bust was unveiled in San Francisco de Asis Square in Old Havana. It was the work of Austrian sculptor Anton Thuswaldner, and a gift from the state government of Salzburg, Austria.
This prompted the formation of the Havana Lyceum Orchestra, founded by Pepe Mendez and fellow students from the Instituto Superior de Arte and the Escuelas Nacionales de Arte. The Mozarteum Salzburg together with Eusebio Leal, a Cuban historian, at the same time founded the Lyceum Mozartiano de La Habana, a cultural centre for classical music.
