One-night-only concert of Latin pop, jazz, funk and soul with Grammy winner Alex Cuba on guitar and vocals and Symphony Nova Scotia.
Alex Cuba plays the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 7:30 pm. It's a one-night-only show, part of Symphony Nova Scotia's 2026/27 Fusion Series, which pairs popular music and Canadian artists with a full symphony orchestra.
Cuba is a Cuban-Canadian Grammy winner whose songs blend Latin pop, jazz, funk and soul. He's known for joyful writing that tends to transcend language and culture, and that's the core of what he'll bring to the stage. On the night, he'll be on guitar and vocals, with Greg Burton conducting the orchestra. The whole thing is billed as a single night of soulful Latin groove, and it's the only date of the kind on the schedule.
It's a good way to see how his sound works when it's backed by a full orchestra rather than a smaller band. The Fusion Series is built around that exact pairing—popular music and Canadian artists set against a symphony—so the orchestral side of the evening is as much a part of the draw as Cuba himself. With Burton conducting and Cuba handling the singing and guitar, the two roles stay distinct: one leading the orchestra, the other fronting the night.
