Resonancia

Ted Nash
Cathy Barbash
2026, 38 min.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles.

In the heart of Havana, Grammy-winning composer Ted Nash invites young Cuban musicians to find inspiration in the colors and forms of a museum’s paintings. What begins as a search for melody becomes an awakening, as students uncover hidden voices within themselves—discovering passion, courage, and untapped creativity. Their week of exploration blooms into a radiant concert before more than a thousand people, where art and music merge into a testament of self-discovery and the boundless power of expression.

Director's Statement

It was a groundbreaking project: never before had three Cuban arts organizations collaborated, had gifted high school students composed new music inspired by art, or had Cuban students and officials shared their thoughts so openly, and never before had both Cuban and American governments supported such a project. Cathy To witness and be part of the transformation these young students made - musically and personally - was deeply gratifying. This film is an opportunity to share the journey of these amazing young people, and inspire other people to recognize their own creativity, and to not limit themselves. Ted
