FOJI Announces Free Concert Led by Young Talents at UC

The Chilean Youth and Children Orchestras Foundation (FOJI) is set to present a free concert, "Infancias Sinfónicas," designed to immerse younger audiences in the live orchestral experience. This musical gathering will showcase the talents of the Metropolitan Children's Symphony Orchestra (OSIM), conducted by Virginia Vergara.

The concert is scheduled for Wednesday, June 3, at 7:00 PM in the Theater of the Music Institute at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. This marks the first performance by the OSIM on this particular stage. FOJI's executive director, Pablo Aranda, expressed gratitude to the university for providing these formative spaces for emerging musicians.

The orchestra's program includes a diverse repertoire, featuring Mozart's Symphony No. 36 "Linz" and the overture to "The Magic Flute." Attendees will also hear Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 (second movement) and Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" theme, alongside pieces by Bach, Bizet, and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Admission to the event is free, but prior registration on FOJI's website is required. Entry will be on a first-come, first-served basis until the venue reaches its capacity. The theater is located at Jaime Guzmán Errázuriz 3300, Providencia. Priority access will be given to attendees holding a Red Chile Cuida credential.

It is the first time that the Metropolitan Children's Symphony Orchestra performs on this stage, and the idea is that these links with university institutions help strengthen the near future of children.
