As part of the ‘Culture in the Garden’ series of the Embassy of Ireland in Chile, and in conjunction with the ‘To Be Irish’ campaign, the Quodlibet Vocal Ensemble performed a Christmas carol concert on Saturday 18 December. The event was aimed at the Irish diaspora and friends of Ireland in Chile, Peru and Ecuador.
During this activity, we took the opportunity to ask some Irish people living in Santiago de Chile about what it means to them to be Irish at Christmas and to be spending the festive season a long way from home.
