2022 Chile Tour

2022 Symphony Orchestra Chile Tour

The Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra (SCSO) is planning to embark on its next international tour to Chile in May 2022! Under the leadership of Conductor, Director of Orchestral Studies and Professor of Conducting Jan Wagner, the orchestra has been reinvited by the Beethoven Foundation, Chile’s largest and most prestigious performing arts organization, to perform in Santiago, Chile’s capital.

Additional performances in the cities of Valparaiso, Talca and Chillán; outreach opportunities; cultural visits and more are in the works.

Assistant Professor of Piano Alexander Bernstein ’16, one of the newest additions to Shenandoah Conservatory’s esteemed faculty, will be the featured soloist during the tour.

Support the Tour

Although SCSO members commit to cover a large portion of the expenses to fund this project, additional financial support is needed to offset the extraordinary costs involved in international travel.
