Restoration of this 1876 building abutting Hotel Velazco was completed in 2014 and every inch, flourish and cornicing of its former glory is well worth a lingering look. Fitting for a building that formerly hosted the city symphony orchestra, classical music makes up the majority of its performances, although there is also that made-in-Matanzas dance danzón (ballroom dance) performed here.
The concert hall melds modern and traditional and is first-class. A courtyard bar with a huge tile mural complements proceedings.
