The artistic proposal is part of the 'Chamber Music from Home' cycle and is one of the four concerts, in this format, that will take place in 2020.

'A season like no other' is the name with which the University of La Serena Symphony Orchestra baptized its annual programming, referring to its ambitious artistic-musical line-up along with great repertoires and a considerable list of guest conductors and soloists that this 2020 They would land in the Region of the stars. However, it was enough for Chile to know the first numbers of Covid-19 infections to change the axis of the season and reach, in the same way, those who enjoy the work of the professional cast.

In response to this, the 2020 season has gotten underway by opening the curtain with the first four Chamber Music concerts from home; each one, with a different, special theme and aimed at the family, providing a space for knowledge, encounter and joy through music and culture. “Our goal as an orchestra is to continue accompanying our community, and also the public in other places; through an artistic, striking and particular proposal”, expressed the concertmaster of the OSULS, Leonardo Godoy Sepúlveda.

This artistic proposal opens this month with the First Chamber Music Concert called 'A Journey through the History of Jazz'; which will be broadcast on Facebook Live (@Orquesta Sinfónica Universidad de La Serena) on Friday, June 26 at 20:00 p.m. The program will be led by the percussion and brass corps of the symphonic ensemble: Pablo Pallero (marimba), Cristian Monreal (trumpets), Gerson Pierotti (French horn) and as guest musicians, on this occasion there will be the outstanding national musician Sebastián Jordán (trumpet ), Daniel Carmona (trombone) and Herman Morales (tuba, PDI Symphony Orchestra) who will give life to a series of seven unmissable pieces; among which stand out 'Ragtime - Suite Latinoamericana' (Enrique Crespo), 'Jovial Jasper' for solo marimba (Hamilton Green), 'St. Louis Blues' and 'Moonlight Serenade' (arranged by Bill Holcombe), among others.

In this way, the professional cast of the Coquimbo Region reconnects with its audience, reaching new latitudes and extending its work and commitment to culture. Via telephone Leonardo Godoy stated that “for us as an orchestra it is very important to maintain the connection and share culture and art with our audience (…); We consider that we cannot be oblivious nor absent in this regard; That is why we want to share with our community what we know how to do and accompany them; always with the hope of being able to see each other again in face-to-face activities, in the near future when health conditions allow it,” said the interpreter.

The Chamber Music from Home cycle includes a total of four concerts, this Friday being the opening of the 2020 Season; and then continue with the II Concert: 'The Musical Essence of Bach' (July 24); III Concert: 'A streaming movie' (August 8) and the IV Concert: 'Classical Wind Ensemble' (September 4).
