The Embassy of Spain, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, will host the musical concert “Night of Dreams” on 9th June at 7 PM at the National Theatre in Accra, as part of its cultural diplomacy and with the aim of bringing Spanish and Ghanaian societies closer together through art and culture.
The show will consist of several performances by the renowned Spanish pianist Enrique Bagaría together with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ghana, Friends of Music Choir and the drums and dances of the Great Africa Heritage Dance Ensemble. The show will take the audience on a journey through Spanish, Ghanaian and European classical music.
The musical event aspires to be an encounter of musical traditions from Spain, Ghana and Europe, as well as a way to explore forms of fusion and dialogue between them. Rhythm and musical notes are universal and shared by all cultures.
The performance also aims to revitalise the cultural scene and industry in Ghana.

We want the audience to be able to disconnect from their daily lives, their problems and concerns, and simply be transported to unknown and magical territories where their dreams can come true through music and dance.
