Abstract

The Musicians’ Mutual Aid Society of Valparaiso was active from 1893 to well into the twentieth century in what was then Chile’s main port city. In this article, I will examine the characteristics of this social organization of Chilean musicians during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and its relationship to the rising labor movement. Moreover, I will report some relevant findings based on a range of archival material. To conclude, I will discuss the role of the Mutual Aid Society of Valparaiso as a forerunner to the creation of the country’s first Musicians’ Union in 1931.
