Curriculum Vitae
Constanza Toledo holds a Master of Arts in Musicology from Leipzig University and a Bachelor of Music in Performance (Violin) from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. In 2024 she received funding to complete an Erasmus+ semester at the University of Vienna and the 'Chile Crea' scholarship from the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage of Chile to complete her master's degree. Constanza led a research project funded by the same ministry titled “Sounding spaces: Cartography of Chilean art music activity between 1973 and 1990”, followed by its second phase “Sounding spaces in transition: Cartography of Chilean art music activity between 1990 and 2007”, creating a digital map of the art music scene in Chile during and after the military regime. She is currently leading a third state-funded research project in which children from two rural schools in central and southern Chile will create soundscape cartographic models as an exploratory ethnographic approach to their local environments.
