Post 5: A Photo and its Story


Hi, it’s time for memories! I don’t know who took this photo, but it’s from The First National Meeting of Youth and Children’s Orchestras in Chile, which means a lot to me because I made many friends. It’s interesting because it’s one of the few photos of the complete orchestra.

In 2011 the Foundation of Youth and Children´s Orchestras of Chile (FOJI) organized a national meeting with all the FOJI orchestras from the regions.  As a violinist of the Youth Orchestra of the Los Ríos Region, I was lucky enough to participate, and we were more than 1200 musicians playing at the Movistar Arena!

Although at the beginning it was chaos, because it’s not easy to organize such a big orchestra, it was possible to achieve it and it was really very entertaining.

I like this photo because it’s one of the nice memories I have of the musical environment and because I participated for many years in the FOJI orchestras.

Hello everyone! In this blog I'm going to tell you about my last vacation. I don't usually take vacations because I have always worked in the summer or attended music camps, but this year I did. In January I went back to the south of Chile and visited a friend. I lived in the south before moving to Santiago, so I have a house to get to, but I decided to visit my friend. He lives in Panguipulli, near the lake. I stayed four days at his house. Every day we got up late, cooked and then went to the beach to spend the rest of the day with his family. At night we looked at the stars taking advantage of the clear skies of southern Chile while we talked, one day we saw more than seven shooting stars pass! We didn't do a lot of activities, but it was relaxing to get out of the chaos of Santiago and I got to spend a lot of time with my best friend and that was the best part of the vacation. Then I went to my mom's house, I wanted to keep visiting my friends, but I got coronav

Blog Post 3: My Dream Job

 Hello, in this new post I will tell you about my dream job, do I have it? No. The truth is that I don't like to think about the future and I live day by day. Thinking about the future makes me anxious, so I don't plan anything. I've always thought that I wouldn't like to die old and do something for a long time, it bores me. So no, I don't have an ideal job, I would like to do many things just for the experience, especially learning trades and relating them to what I am studying. I got into anthropology because I like archaeology, so if I get to work in this field, I'm not complaining. But the main reason to work in archaeology is because I am a curious person and I like knowledge. About skills, I think that they are never enough and that they are learned in practice. I don't mind the salary, as long as I can support myself and do what I want in that hypothetical future. I wouldn't like to stay in a fixed place, so I don't need a lot of things to li

Hi, in  my first blog I going talk about  Italy. Is a very visited country especially cities such as Rome, Venice, Florence, but  I would like to visit especifically by Cremona. because is the cradle city of luthiery and I like fretted stringed instruments. It was the hometown of Antoni Stradivari, a famous violin maker. Also, it was the hometown of Giuseppe Guarneri, other famous violin maker.  Is a city I would like visit luthiere workshops and Museo del Violino. Also, I would like walking through the streets and seeing the architecture. I would like to go to a baroque music concert in a church, because is the best place  for this type of music. A long time ago, I thought to work as luthiery,  but in Chile is so expensive. I learned things  as a luthier  apprentice, but I had to leaving, so I would like to maker a violin and I would love to do it in Cremona.
