Talca is 160 miles south of Santiago, a beautiful drive through the lush
Central Valley, with the Andes forming a spectacular border to the east.
A lovely mid-size city of 200,000, it is home to the Universidad de Talca,

Janna Lower with University of Talca student Christian Paillán |
In November of 2010, Chilean Christian Paillán Störzer was selected as the
first recipient of a violin and bow loaned by the Tropikordia Foundation.
He has the exclusive use of them for one year, at which time the
instrument will be passed on to another deserving student at the
University of Talca. The instrument is a fine 19th century violin with
strong German features, modeled freely after the work of Amati/Stainer.
