In 2008 I started playing saxophone in the Puerto Varas Big Band, I was a kid and I had started to play very recently, but being  a member of the Big Band helped me to learn more about my instrument and jazz music.

I remember our first presentation in the municipal gym of Puerto Varas, it was so fun, but we had a lot to learn like band and music players, we were beetwen 11 – 15 years old.

I met so many places of Chile with the Puerto Varas Big Band, the most beutiful of them was Futaleufu in the south of Chile, it’s a Paradise!

I stopped playing with the Puerto Varas Big Band in 2015, because the next year I was going to leave Puerto Varas and  start studying in Santiago. But in 2017 they invited me to play with them in a festival in Valparaiso, it was my last presentation with the Puerto Varas Big Band.

I learned a lot of things and I’m happy of have being part of that band, that still works today.
