It was a stirring performance, sublimely set against the backdrop of Santiago's Metropolitan Cathedral in Plaza de Armas. This central square is the city's heartbeat, where the original colony was founded and where today, Santiago in all its forms can be observed. As such, over 7000 people turned out to enjoy this aural spectacle, and were suitably delighted. It's just a pity there was no encore.

A spine-tingling evening
Santiago's citizens were treated to evening of culture last night from the University of Chile. In celebration of the institution's 168th anniversary, the university symphony orchestra and choir staged a free performance of Carmina Burana - a classical piece of music that begins and ends with a piece possibly more familiar to many in the UK as the "X Factor music".
