Baroque Concert at the La salle school

Come Christmas time in Buenos Aires and in spite of the warm weather and lack of any visible deco, there are still great concerts to be enjoyed.

Yesterday I attended a "Sacred Music" concert by a local choir called Buenos Ayres Consort. They sang and played period instruments at the chapel of the La Salle Brothers school in Buenos Aires.
























they performed music by Monteverdi, Gabrielli and Schutz, with great talent.

the Boca-River affaire

Yesterday we finally got to watch the final game of the Libertadores cup, played for the first time in history between two soccer teams from the same country and even the same city.

I watched the game with the Boca fans and passed by the obelisk where the River fans were celebrating their victory.
