The National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica will offer the inhabitants of five communities of San José, Alajuela, Cartago and Heredia the possibility of listening to music under the stars.

“Lunada Sinfónica” is the name of the tour that will begin this on February 9th and that will be offered for free. The ensemble will be directed by Costa Rican Alejandro Gutiérrez and will have 75 musicians.
