The concert was attended by the Secretary General of the hemispheric organization, José Miguel Insulza; the Ambassador of Uruguay to the United States, Carlos Pita; the Executive Director of the Inter-American Development Bank on behalf of Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia, Marcelo Bisogno; ambassadors from several countries of the region and about 200 people, who gave a standing ovation to the South American musicians.
The nearly 70 Uruguayan musicians are part of the Uruguay System of Youth and Children's Orchestras, which is part of a social action program for music that is expanding throughout Uruguay.
