Alturas Workshop - SONG TO MAGELLAN

El Canto a Magallanes is a historical musical work that narrates some of the main events in the history of Magallanes. It premiered under the auspices of the Technical University of the State on November 19, 1976 at the Municipal Theater of Punta Arenas, after which it was presented in various venues, including the Municipal Theater of Santiago. Since then, the work - and in particular its Prayer for Magallanes - are recognized as emblems and part of the cultural heritage of the region.
