 2010 Alan Weinberg, composer of the formidable Salsa Suite wrote a new work for Baroque and Blue titled Americana: "... the main idea is that it reflects an essentially American melting pot of styles – anything from salsa to Appalachian folk music, or bolero to bluegrass to popular music.

With generous support by the US Consulate in Leipzig Alan Weinberg attended the overwhelming premiere of his work on July 17 at Schloss Neschwitz, Lausitzer Musiksommer and July 18 at Schloss Colditz |
