My last vacation was very active, since in January I
traveled to Brazil with my girlfriend and then went to a music festival in
Valdivia. Today I will write about the festival in Valdivia.
This initiative began at the end of last year, after having
played in a concert organized by the blue collective, a group that especially
promotes the contemporary music of Chilean composers. Together with my
colleagues, we were happy with this instance and decided to continue
participating in concerts during the holidays, this is how we made the decision
to travel south and promote the repertoire for the clarinet quintet. Our first
stop was in the eighth region, in the city of Laja where the family of one of
the members received us and in this same space we had time to rehearse and give
our first concert. After being in Laja we went to the city of Valdivia where
the first festival called Vuelta a la culebra was held, here we presented
ourselves in 4 different places and we had the opportunity to know the
surroundings, incredible places with very good people. This experience helped
us a lot to learn to work in groups and to get to know each other.
