　　 Uruguay's Official Service of Broadcasting, Performances, and Shows (Servicio Oficial de Difusión, Representaciones y Espectáculos - Sodre) National Youth Orchestra (OJS) offered the so-called concert “For Peace and Science” at the South American country's Artigas Base in Antarctica

　　Seventeen musicians (16 players plus a conductor, maestro Ariel Britos) interpreted Rubén Rada's “Mi país,” Gerardo Matos Rodríguez's “La Cumparsita”, and Rubén Lema's “A Don José,” among other pieces by Uruguayan authors.

　　The concert was broadcast from the Youtube channel of the Public Media, and Montevideo's Channel 5 will air broadcast the documentary miniseries “Antarctica: the continent of all,” with the musical score played by the OJS.

　　The show was initially scheduled to be staged outdoors but was shifted to an indoor facility due to weather issues. The event marked the 40th anniversary of Uruguay's presence in Antarctica.
